Oh boy...you got me there. But then again, who is it that ultimately controls the growth of what has been planted and watered? Does God NEED the help of the sons of men to grow anything on this earth? Is this a synergistic operation?

God needing something and God wanting something are two different things. Does a father need his son to help him in his garden? No. He could do everything himself. But maybe there is some relationship building and educational and maturing effected that leads the father to want to work with his son, and his son to work with him.
