"It
will b a day for building your walls. On
that day will your boundary be extended.
It will be a day when they will come to you from Assyria and the cities
of Egypt, even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain. And the earth will become desolate because of
her inhabitants, on account of the fruit of their deeds." Micah
7:11-12
People ask "Where is God in all this climate change? Is Global Warming true?" There is a price to pay for sin and for
misuse of resources we were charged with looking after. The actions each of us take make a collective
difference in our world. And God waits for
us to pay attention to His plan for the world.
"And
God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the
earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of
the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
"Then
God said, 'Behold I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the
surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it
shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the
sky, and to everything that moves on the earth which has life, I have given
every green plant for food';
"And
God saw all that He had made and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning,
the sixth day." Genesis 1:28-31
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
Darlene
