Subtle road to irreverence
Genesis 1:11-12
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
Today, we can easily get many seedless fruits in the market. It's usually pricier and it's aim is to bring convenience to customers.
It isn't a sin to eat seedless fruits but what happens is that sometimes, when something more convenient is available, our human heart naturally rejects the other and looks at it as troublesome.
However, fruits with seed is God's creation and God sees it as 'good'. The existence of seedless fruits, very subtly creates irreverence to God's creation when we reject, dislike or perceive fruits with seed as 'troublesome'.
And most of the time, it is through these little subtle situations, irreverence and eventually disobedience to God creeps into our hearts over several other situations.
The issue isn't seed or seedless fruits. It's how we open the door to irreverence through little things.
Pray, discern. Love God.
