“Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.” (Gen. 2:29-30 NIV)

God supplied for every need

The above passage says God gave us every seed-bearing plant on the face of the earth, every fruit tree with seeds, and all animals, including everything that has breath and life in it. All this was there for us to control and take advantage of to meet our needs.

God gave mankind work to do

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” (Gen. 2:15 NIV)
