Day 174: One Heart, One Soul, One Love- Day 4

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth

Genesis 2:15

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

Genesis 1:28

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Today I want to talk about the environment and how we treat it, and how we are supposed to take care of the earth, God created for us. As Christians we should definitely care about the earth and take care of it. I believe from the beginning of time God has given us a responsibility to take care of what He has given us. It is our job to take care of our home and keep it healthy. From recycling, to keeping our streets clean. Using less energy or electricity or using solar power, planting more trees and gardens. Whatever it may be, just making sure we aren’t causing harm to the planet. It’s such a beautiful place, I mean God created it. Nature is so beautiful, let’s not take it for granted.

I talk about this because one of the things plaguing the world right now is climate change. Droughts and storms are happening all over the place. Glaciers are melting, animals are dying and close to extinction. If we want to live healthy lives we must do our part to make sure our planet is healthy. I truly believe that we should treat our home as a gift. God gave us something beautiful and gave us dominion over it. This our home for the time being and it’s the home of our children and their children and so forth. So let’s do what we can to protect the earth. Let’s do all we can to keep it healthy and safe.

Reflection/Prayer Time

Take the time to think about what you can do to be a part of taking care of the planet, and then do it. Nothing is too small. Pray for the environment, pray for the world, pray for climate change, pray for the animals. Take the time to thank God for this beautiful earth. Enjoy this earth, and enjoy the beauty of nature.
