What are we you doing with what God gave you? How would you answer that question? With no more detail then just that question. What would be some things that come to mind? You might think God has given me my family, health, salvation, money, peace, happiness or freedom. What about the very things that sustain us? The air we breathe, the ground we walk on and the water we drink. I think that there are times that we easily forget these things. The creator of the Earth made the air perfect for us, if it had only a small amount more nitrogen in it, there would be no us. If the Earth was just a smidgen closer to the Sun, we would not exist. The ground would be to hot, the water would be boiling and the air would be steam. God to such great care in providing a beautiful place for us to live, to make sure His creation had the best. Then He created man and told man to enjoy the Earth.
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26-28)
God blessed man with all this wonder, we are here we need to take the best care of it that we can. So as we continue to move into the New Year think of some simple ways that you and your family can take care of the earth. Maybe it will be by recycling more, drinking less bottle water, and turning off some lights, planting a tree or garden. By doing just a little something will make a difference.
