There is a new trend of "Going Green". Companies are making millions of dollars on this new idea and technology of "green". I think that this is great, but I also think that this is not some new fad, but something that we, as Christians, have been called to do since creation.
We are currently looking at the topics of Heaven and Hell in youth group and amongst my studies/research, I have seen how God loves the earth. And that in Genesis we too are called to show God's love of the earth to the earth.
I know this sounds a little cheesy, but seriously in Genesis 1 we see the Creation Story and get to watch as God creates. What is the point of the story? If you remember, after each day, God sat back and looked at it and said that it was "good".
Well the very last verse of chapter 1 in Genesis is a little different than the other days, it says; "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good..." (Gen. 1:31a).
Very Good! God cares for his creation, do you? We are called to live a life that is caring for the creation that God made and saw as Very Good. This may mean life changes toward the environment or towards other people.
Try and live today with the attitude that God saw His creation as Very Good. Post your experience here on the blog so that we can see how God is working through you.
