Fill the Earth

I have been studying Genesis and writing sermons to keep the mind strong. In my studies I have noticed that God was pretty serious about humankind spreading out across His creation. As I was working at Walmart one day I began to see why, I think.

While working out in the boonies of the Endless Mountians in Pennsylvania, I see a cross section of Bradford County's population. Great diversity lives all around me. I have seen ladies wrapped in Indian Sari's beright colored and regal. I have heard several different languages and taken in a variety of skin colors.

I believe God was so insistent on humans filling the earth because the Lord built into each of us the ability to adapt to our surroundings AND pass these adaptations on to our offspring. It reminds me of the song I learned in United Methodist Sunday School. "Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world."
