Happy Earth Day Everyone and Everything!
God is a creative creator and artist,
He created this beautiful earth and told us to take good care of it,
Therefor..
We must do so in our everyday lives.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
Genesis 1:1
"It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me."
(Jeremiah 27:5)
"God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good."
(Genesis 1:25)
"And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
(Genesis 1:28)
God trusted us to take care of the earth and not destroying it.
Yes, we need food and water and God provides it all for us through the earth.
He also gives us a brain and creativity to use the earth properly.
Understand that you are not the only one who is on this earth!
There are other people, present and the future generation to come,
Animals, plants, and etc.
Use wisely.
Be a good steward of anything that God entrusted us!
"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,"
(Psalm 24:1)
So, make no mistake!
God entrusted us this earth
(Thank You God),
But
HE IS STILL THE OWNER.
-----------------------------
"And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful."
(Luke 12:42-46)
-----------------------------
Everything that we have now comes from those before us.
Be thankful and be a good steward so that your children will enjoy the earth.
Create, enjoy, planted, and use everything on this earth with great responsibility and love.
Take good care of your body and those around you, including the animals and other living creatures that God created to be our source of food, companion, worker, etc.
LOVE them, not abusing them and taking advantage of their well being.
There are a lot of things that we could do to love and celebrate the earth daily.
Eat right, recycle, use water and electricity according to your needs, save, clean up, create, share, help others in need!
XOXO EARTH,
