Proper stewards

Gen. 2:15 states, "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." Thus begins one of the minor themes of scripture, the stewardship of God's world. We are not just called, not just commanded, not just compelled, but it is our duty, our responsibility to take care of the earth and all the things in it. 

God created all things, good and bad, He created them. As the pinnacle of that creation, He created man and placed man in a position to rule over it, cultivate it, and be stewards of what God has created. It has come to my attention how terrible of a job we do of this.

So please, please, please, I beg you please, consider this each day. Carpool, recycle, put your gum in the trash not in the grass. Please remember that you are a steward of God's creation and you should take care of it as best you can because it is not yours. And at the very least, be sure that some day you will have to give account to the master for what you have done with His property.
