Happy Earth Day?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

The popular "worship" of the earth today in 2010 is no surprise to God. It's too bad they're worshiping the creation and not the Creator. Truly we should not be so self absorbed to really think we can actually save our planet.....because we can't. God is going to destroy the earth and we should stop wasting our time on pointless endeavors that will go nowhere. We need to start giving God the glory.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. 2 Peter 3:10 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen. Romans 1:25 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:18-20
The entire world can bear witness to God through its beauty, complexity, design and usefulness. We have plenty of evidence of His existence, unfortunately many reject this evidence.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Romans 1:21-23 People today devote their lives to, and trust in, many things other than God. The "peace" that they are all looking for will not be found in saving the whales or having clean air. We are all given a gift that will truly give us peace. And that gift is Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Although this earth is our home, and we should take care of it, I believe you have a great point.
Why not celebrate God and all that He has given for us, today and everyday.

God really did put us here to care for his creation. We are stewards of all that he has made. This afternoon I, too, was reading in Romans, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Such powerful words. I pray that people will indeed see the Creator and worship him with grateful hearts. Thanks for the reminder to care for what we've been given from the One who gave all.
Blessings!
