Earth Day Everyday

I like to think of April as earth month because it is a time when we can really see our world in renewal mode. Day by day the sun stays in the sky a little longer as the temperatures warm gently.

I think of the amount of extravagance our Creator put into every type of life form. Some are microscopic and can not even be seen with the naked eye! What's up with that? My belief is that our Heavenly Father wants us to discover His many wonders. That takes effort but everything we see came from Him and ultimately belongs to Him. That includes us!

"A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein," Psalm 24:1

When we understand that the first man and woman were given stewardship of the earth, we see that it was held in trust for our care, use and enjoyment. Everything we see was made for a reason even if for the time, we are unable to see what purpose it may serve. We also need to acknowledge that just because we can not see that purpose at the time, it does not mean that a plant, bacteria or species, etc. lacks importance. Yah made and owns everything we see and even what don't.

"For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills." Psalm 50:10

God put these complex eco-systems in place for the animal's and plant's survival, even our own. So think. Just because you can't understand something now doesn't mean it lacks importance or value. The place a plant, bird or fish may have in its habitat may be inestimable. As much as possible, we should show respect and reverence for all of Yah's creation, seen or unseen. That will be our joyous task in His coming Kingdom. To care for this earth and the fullness thereof.

PRAYER: Bless You Almighty Yah, King of the Universe for all Your Creation and wisdom! Show me the best way to protect and respect the earth now and in the future. Amen
