After creating the universe, the earth, and everything in it, God created a beautiful garden and put the first man Adam there to take care of it. God gave him everything he needed to survive. All of God’s beautiful creation on earth was his life’s work to care for.

God still calls us to be stewards of the earth and to care for it as our home while we are living in it. All of creation reveals God’s glory. When we are connected to nature, in even small ways, we can experience the wonder of God. How can I be a good steward of this earth that God has put me in? How can I preserve this earth for future generations? Whether in big or small ways, we can take part in enjoying and caring for this world that God has put us in.
Application: Creator God, the beauty and life-giving resources of the earth sustain me. May I enjoy it and care for it.
One Word: Be a good steward of your garden.
