CREATION

PSALM 145:10 (CEV)
All creation will thank you,
and your loyal people
will praise you.


HEBREWS 6:7 (CEB)
The ground receives a blessing from God when it drinks up the rain that regularly comes and falls on it and yields a useful crop for those people for whom it is being farmed.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God blesses us through his creation.

PRAYER
Creator God, thank you for the rain, the soil, the plants, and the beauty of the creation which surrounds us. We are truly blessed through what you have made. But our sins against your creation are many. We are casual or even indifferent toward the air, the soil, and the water. Direct us into thoughtful regenerative actions so that the generations to come can enjoy the full measure of your creation. Amen.
