Earth care

The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. ~ Genesis 2:15 (NLT)

God blesses those people who are humble. The earth will belong to them! ~ Matthew 5:5 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
We're called to take charge and care for the earth that God created.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for putting us on such an awesome planet. But we have not been very good care takers of the earth that you have entrusted to us. And personally, looking out for the "garden" in which we live has not been much of a priority. There are so many other matters vying for my attention. I rarely think about the impact of my life on the planet. So please open my eyes to all the ways great and small that I can become a better caregiver. I'm going to live up to my God-given responsibility of watching out for the earth. Amen.
