Psalm 8:6
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—


The created world is neither random nor meaningless. While some people might say they disagree with this, my hunch is they live as if it is true. They probably have checking accounts and insurance to say the least.
So, to care for the world takes a strategy that we humans live out in many different ways, from family to government and so on. Christians just happen to trust that God wants us to care for the world with love and justice. We are not called to worship nature nor exploit it. Who would have thought that the best, true, environmentalists could turn out to be normal followers of Jesus?

Where can you improve your own environmental sensitivity? Pray for guidance in this.
