Our Place in God’s Creation

 

The Earth and all that lies within it are God’s. He sustains it, and cares for it; Our maker owns every particle of its being

For by His awesome power, God created the universe, and our World. Through His wisdom, He made them incredible, intricate, beautiful

And because of God’s love, He formed life on this planet

What a wonder is life. The dust from remnants of past stars; the material of the earth and sea, animated, to live and breath

We know of no other place where this has happened, in the entire universe

Life is precious. It is a gift of God. Because, life was made by His choice and given to the living, so that we may share in the benefit of honoring who He is

May all the Earth worship His name

God placed man above everything that He created on Earth. He assigned us stewardship over this precious creation, so that we would fill the earth. But also, so that we could care for His world as He would like, with love, kindness, respect; through justice and obedience unto Him

So that in all that we do, we endeavor that His earth remains good

Lord, you have made us a little less than the angels. You have given us this amazing home. You have blessed us with everything that we need to live and we have thrived upon this earth

When we have done selfish things and forgotten our God, you have offered us forgiveness of our sins, and offered us a way to escape our guilt and condemnation.

Even offering us Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that we might have hope and to live life in all richness and joy. So that we might have everlasting life through His sacrifice. We can live in Your creation, forever

How great are the gifts of our God?

We live here today on this Earth, our home. We look out at the beauty that God has made, and the ugliness we have brought upon the land and on His people, by the destructive ways of our sin

Oh, that we could all see our God this day and know the love in His heart for us. So that we might turn to Him and honor His goodness and power

That we might rightly see the path that lies before us. A way that leads to life, and not to destruction

The presence of God fills the entire universe. He is not far from you now

Seek Him with all your heart and effort and He will reveal Himself to you. He will show you the wonders of His being     1/21/2020

A Short History

Look out upon the world where you were formed from. See its beauty. Feel the ebb and flow of the wind that brushes against it. Sense its wonder

Listen to its quiet pulse that resounds on such a grand scale. Consider the enormity. See the waves of clouds that crash and flow up in the sky

Take a deep breath. Smell the sharp freshness of the air. Understand the miracle of Earths existence

Listen to the sounds of the wind in the trees, the sounds of life all around.

We were created by God and formed from the earth, designed by God, and set forth into this world; To be shaped by it, molded in small increments to what we are today. They are actively shaping us each moment. Creating then fine tuning us over millions of years

We do not live separately from the earth or from our God. Each has designed, shaped, and sustained us here, to live, and to live well

God is our treasure, for through His great love, he made us. He cares for us beyond our simple understanding and desires for us to walk this earth beside Him, in wisdom, Spirit, and communion

We do not exist apart from this Earth. It fully supports every aspect of our life

The earth is a creation every bit as great as we are and we are part of its unique expression

To feel apart from our world is to live estranged and to take for granted, this beautiful planet, an act of selfishness that leaves us shallow, and naive

We have come to a place in our short history where we have begun to reshape this world that made us

We are creating a place of our own design, of our own failing, driven by our greed, excess, and lack of reverence. It is damaging our world

We do not live separately from our earth, or our God. The earth was made for us, because we were made from it

All of life is sustained from the balance of forces that exists here. Our success as a species depends upon the health of all life and this depends upon our planet remaining a healthy place

What we are doing is a sin of great magnitude

Wake up, reconnect with the wonder and beauty of this world. Seek God, and understand the gravity of this danger       12/23/2019
