I have been reminded again of the call for believers to set the example in making use of what we have been given, but not to abuse this gift. The Lord gave us the privilege of taking care of his creation (Genesis 2:15), yet somehow, we have abused this gift, and we are facing the consequence of our actions.
John Wesley once wrote, “God has made man [humankind] as the steward of the earth, but not as the proprietor. We are to use it as entrusted to us, not to abuse it.”
Psalm 24:1 reminds us that the creation belongs to the Lord and not us:
"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on
the waters."
What can we do to help?
Living in Grace
