Creation

     The glory of God is seen everyday at home and everywhere you travel.  What's more, God trusted us and placed us in charge of His creation when He said, "Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth...See I have given you every herb that yields seed...every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it is for food."
     You see, God entrusted His people with a work to do, and He expects us to value all He has given us and to value our work.  We are to do our work well.
     Part of what this means to me is, don't litter.  Enjoy His glorious works.  Feed the birds and watch their amazing flight patterns, take time to marvel in the creatures and plants, protect God's wonderful sights, love nature, soak up the sun, and breathe the fresh air.  Feel the soil.  Yes, go barefoot from time to time.
     I have to admire not everyone gets into nature and barefoot ways, but we can all do our part to enjoy the sunsets and rainbows of blessings.  Most of all, "be fruitful" with His creation and thank Him; praise Him beneath His glorious heavens.

Psalms 19:1-2, 6a "The heavens proclaim the glory of God.  The skies display His craftmanship.  Day after day they continue to speak.  Night after night they make Him known.  The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end..."

     How can we glory in God's creation if we do not know Him?  Hosea 6:3a "Oh, that we might know the Lord!"  (6b) "I want you to know me..."
     A small part of learning to know God begins "In The Beginning".  Let's not betray His trust in our charge to have dominion over the earth.
