Our Earth

Psalm 104

This Psalm lays out all God has done for providing everything we need in this Earth. We see that God has formed and made this world, placed it in its place in the Universe, and designed all the Earth Systems to work together to give all its inhabitants food to eat and places to live; everything works together and complements one another to enable this world to be self-sustaining and pleasurable, so that all can have a productive life and enjoy the good things God has provided. And the goodness of God leads us to repentance, that we can see the harm that our ungodliness produces in our own bodies, our society around us, and the very Earth itself. 

We are to love God and love other people; and our love will give us good sense in caring for one another and the animals and other creatures and this world we live in, which is our home for all the time we dwell here.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
