“He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;”
Psalms 104:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 104:14
God causes grass to grow for cattle and 'herb for the service of man' that he might bring forth food from the earth. This verse establishes God's provision for both animals and humans through vegetation. 'Service' (avodah) can mean work or worship, suggesting human agricultural labor cooperates with God's provision. Humans don't create food but cultivate what God causes to grow. This grounds work theology in God's providence—human labor is stewardship, not autonomous production. Christ fed multitudes (Matt 14:13-21), demonstrating divine provision.
