29 (Psalm 104:14). Fruit in Our Hands—The Lord has given His life to the trees and vines of His creation. His word can increase or decrease the fruit of the land. If men would open their understanding to discern the relation between nature and nature’s God, faithful acknowledgments of the Creator’s power would be heard. Without the life of God, nature would die. His creative works are dependent on Him. He bestows life-giving properties on all that nature produces. We are to regard the trees laden with fruit as the gift of God, just as much as though He placed the fruit in our hands (Manuscript 114, 1899).{1BC 1081.4}

29 (Sal. 104,14). Frugter i vore hænder.--Herren har givet Sit liv til Sine skabte træer og vine. Hans ord får landets frugter til at vokse eller blive mindre. Hvis mennesker vil åbne deres forståelse for at se forholdet mellem naturen og naturens Gud, ville der kunne høres loyale anerkendelser af Skaberens kraft. Uden Guds liv, ville naturen dø. Hans skabergerninger er afhængige af Ham. Han tildeler livets gave til al det naturen frembringer. Vi skal betragte frugtbærende træer som Guds gav, ligeså meget som at han har givet frugterne i vore hænder. (MS 114, 1899).
