Genesis 1:9-13 “And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. (10) And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. (11) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. (12) And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (13) And the evening and the morning were the third day.†KJV
Finally, after a long voyage in search for riches and trade routes had ended. In 1492 Christopher Columbus stepped out into the Bahamas and later Cuba to discover the Americas. What is interesting to note is one day before sighting land the crew almost mutinied but Christopher Columbus quieted them by promising that if land was not found in two days they would head back to Spain. The very next day they found land. The difference between discovering the Americas and not was decided on one day.
On day three of creation God decided to gather the waters together. By gathering the waters, dry land appeared. I imagine this was the formation of the polar ice caps.
Once land was present it needed to be cultivated. God commanded the earth to bring forth grass, herbs, and trees. He equips each of them with the seeds necessary to reproduce without interruption or intervention. The same provision He gave them 6,000 years ago still works today “seed after his kindâ€.
Rest today knowing if God so provides for the earth He will also provide for you. Luke 12:24 “Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?â€
