“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” – Psalm 19:1
This verse reminds us that nature itself is a reflection of God’s greatness. When we look at the oceans, forests, and mountains, we see His beauty and power. But what happens when pollution, deforestation, and climate change destroy these gifts? Are we truly honoring God if we allow His creation to be damaged?
God entrusted us with the earth, calling us to be stewards, not destroyers. Yet today, ecosystems are collapsing—forests are being cut down, rivers are drying up, and wildlife is disappearing. This isn’t just an environmental crisis; it’s a spiritual issue. When we carelessly waste resources, pollute the air and water, or ignore the suffering of those affected by environmental destruction, we fail in our responsibility as caretakers of God’s creation.
Restoring ecosystems isn’t just about saving plants and animals—it’s about ensuring a future where people can thrive. Simple actions like planting trees, reducing plastic waste, and protecting water sources make a real difference. Speaking up for policies that protect the environment is another way to live out our faith.
Psalm 19:1 reminds us that creation speaks of God’s glory. If we allow it to be destroyed, we silence that message. As Christians, we have the power to restore, protect, and care for the world God gave us—because loving God means loving His creation.
