Genesis 1:27-28
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’”
A few days ago I was stuck at a road construction site. As I sat there I enjoyed a time of prayer and meditating on a passage of Scripture. I then noticed the bumper sticker on the car in front of me. It read, “Earth is our mother! Treat her with respect!”
Since then I have been thinking of the error of the message this sticker was transmitting. Where in Scripture do we find the idea that the earth is our mother? Not in God’s Word. It comes from the false faith in evolution that we all evolved from some inorganic material and grew from the earth. Wow! That is far more faith than I have!
These same evolutionists have not found evidence that life started here, so it must have been from another planet that was struck by a meteorite and a piece was thrown into space and arrived here to start life. Right! Here’s another big question for these so called solid thinkers: Where did life on the other planet come from? Hmmmm?
Mother earth is not our mother! God is our Father and He created all things. He spoke and the world came into being and He gave mankind the task of overseeing what He created. We might have done a terrible job of it, but the idea of mother earth or mother nature is contrary to God’s Word. I choose to believe God!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
