[10] He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
[11] They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
[12] By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
[13] He watereth the hills from His chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works.
[14] 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;
These verses give us an appreciation for God’s “watering system”: Rain from the ocean rises to clouds. Rain and snow then come from clouds on the highest mountains to bring that water for animals and plant life to be sustained and flourish.
Perhaps this is the reason God created the “waters” before the landmasses. It was for us to appreciate God’s way of bring water to all points in the world. In other words, God sustains and values all of His creation.
[15] And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
This verse is not condoning getting drunk. Rather, it is just giving an example of how God’s “watering system” makes it possible for grapes to grow and even for wheat to grow in the ground. The big picture idea is about appreciating the earth and how it works for our benefit of sustaining life.
Consider this, if you are ever feeling depressed and believe that you are not lucky in life, be grateful that God gave you the ability to appreciate this world, how it was created and how it can sustain life ultimately to bring Him glory.
