Creation Care: A Collective Effort.

 


Sub-Topic: Working Together for a Sustainable Future.

Biblical text: Genesis 1:28

Commentary:

The enormity of environmental concerns might be overwhelming. However, Genesis 1:28 reminds us that we are not responsible for creation alone. The  verse use the plural "them," implying a shared responsibility.

The beauty is in the ripple effect. Perhaps you take part in a local beach cleanup. While apparently little, your acts encourage others to join the cause. The gathered rubbish avoids future contamination, saving marine life and coastal habitats. This, in turn, leads to a better environment for everybody.

Environmental management is a community endeavor. We can have a greater influence by working together to support sustainable companies, advocate for change, and encourage others to join the cause.

Prayer: Lord, lead us as we work together to care for Your creation.

Work Action: Look into environmental groups in your town. Consider volunteering or giving to a cause you care about.

Scriptural Reference: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. "Two are better than one because they get a fair return on their efforts: if one falls, his companion can assist him up. But pity the person who falls and has no one to assist him get up!"

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
