"The heavens are the Lord's heavens,but the earth has been given to human beings."
Psalm 115:16
This morning as I watched the sun rise over the clouds below me I stood in awe of all that God has done. That I have had the opportunity to see all of the earth that I have seen just boggles my mind at times. Yet the more I see the more I recognize both how fragile and how resilient this earth is. It makes me wonder how well we are doing with what we have been given by God. I wonder if my grandchildren will have the same opportunities to see this creation in the same conditions that I have? I wonder what God thinks about the way we have been treating this gift of the earth that we have been given. I wonder what it means for me to believe that I have a role in God's process of "making all things new." I wonder if we as Christians will ever stop taking this gift of creation for granted?
