The Seed of Life ( In The Beginning).

In the beginning, man was formed from the dust before the seed was ever placed in his care. That wasn’t by accident. It was order; Divine order. YHWH shaped man first, then gave him something sacred to steward: the seed. Every plant, every child, every purpose starts with a seed. And every seed starts with Him.

There’s something deeply humbling about planting a seed and watching it grow. Whether it’s raising a child, nurturing a dream, planting food in a garden, or nurturing a flower into bloom, you feel it in your soul. You remember how small it started. You remember the waiting. The work. The prayers. And then, little by little, you witness life.

But let’s not forget; that seed wasn’t our doing. We didn’t create it. We didn’t give it its power. We just tended to it. We watered it. We hoped. Because only YHWH, the Master Gardener, can give life.

“Then YHWH Elohim formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.”

Genesis 2:7

Man can try to manipulate it, modify it, even clone it; but he can never create it. A seedless fruit might look appealing, but it can’t carry life forward. It can’t multiply. It’s been stripped of what makes it real. That’s what happens when we tamper with YHWH’s design. It may look good, but it’s empty. Lifeless. Out of order.

So why would we feed our bodies with food that can’t even reproduce itself?

If the seed is gone, the life is gone. What are we really consuming? And if YHWH’s order was perfect from the beginning, then anything outside of that order; like genetically modified organisms (GMO); can’t be right. It may feed for a moment, but what does it cost us in the long run?

So when will you start to grow your seed?

Even in business, we’ve seen this firsthand. Watching eScential S.O.Y. grow has been like watching a seed we didn’t even know we had. Planted in grief. Watered with tears. Nurtured by faith. And all along, YHWH has been the one tending it. Others may try to copy it, change it, or understand it; but they can’t. Because they didn’t plant it.

This isn’t just business. These are the Scents Of YHWH. That’s what eScential S.O.Y. means, a name rooted in purpose. A seed we couldn’t have planted without Him. A growth we could never force. And a harvest that belongs to Him alone.

So we keep tending, keep trusting, and keep giving thanks. Because in the end, it’s not about the work of our hands; it’s about the One who gives life to the seed.

“And Elohim said, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the plant that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth.’ And it came to be so.

And the earth brought forth grass, the plant that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good.”

Genesis 1:11–12

Now you are stewards of the seed of eScential S.O.Y.; chosen to carry it forward. With your support, you’re not just helping it grow; you’re preserving a purpose planted by YHWH Himself, allowing it to flourish for His glory.
