We recently celebrated Earth Day, when we appreciate our world and all its benefits and also reflect on how we care for it. In Genesis “the book of beginnings” chapter two God placed people in the garden to work it and take care of it. We are literally commissioned by God to steward the earth like a gardener or farmer would their garden or field of crops. It is never ours, it is only entrusted to us, to use wisely and appreciate. As we navigate the current pandemic and a large portion of our population stay at home, an unexpected blessing has been not only to see better due to less pollution and cleaner air, but also to be able to see wildlife emerge in unexpected places bringing a smile to many. Why not use some or your time to relax and take a deep breath and look around at the beauty of creation. How are you doing with God’s commission to steward our world? It is full of bounty and blessing, for us to enjoy, but we are also to be stewards of creation for our Creator.
(verse of the week)
The earth is the LORD’S, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
for He founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the waters. (Psalm 24.1,2)
(Prayer of the week)
Almighty and Loving God, thank you for the blessing of the universe and all that you created and the special blessing of our world. Help me to be the steward of all that you have blessed us with, and may I also steward each day of my life giving back to you by the way I use my gifts and talents. May your Holy Spirit fill me and make me a new creation empowered by your grace and love. Fill me with your love, and may others see your love in all I do, and give you thanks. Amen.
Blessings –Pastor TJ
(quote of the week)
“The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out,
Like shining from shook foil. . .
Oh, morning at the brown brink eastward springs--
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast
And with ah! Bright wings—Gerald Manley Hopkins, “God’s Grandeur”
