“If God intended man to live on bread, why didn’t he make a bread tree? And the answer is that, in fact, God could have created a bread tree that produced crusty loaves of bread, but he prefers to offer us grain and invite us to buy a field and plant the seed. He prefers that we till the soil while he sends the rain. He prefers that we harvest the crop while he sends the sunshine. He prefers that we grind the grain and knead it and bake it while he gives us air in our lungs and strength in our arms. Why? Because he would rather we become partners with him in creation. Of course, God could simply supply our every need and solve our every problem. But our God invites us into a creative partnership with him.”
