Creation. God's first act in the world was to create the world. After all things had been formed, the world was offered to human beings as God's gift to us. It was intended to be enjoyed by humans and sustain all that God had made. Somewhere along the lines, though, humans decided the earth was ours and ours alone. It has even gotten to the point where God's creation has become a political divider. It makes me wonder what God really thinks about things. I remember how I felt in junior high when a poster I had made was defaced with all sorts of scribbles and markings. How must God feel about God's masterpiece being destroyed?!
Contrary to what some may have us belief, the earth is not simply an inanimate object. Instead the earth is full of life; life that has its root in God! As such, God uses this creation to still speak to us truths about God's realm. Will we listen? Will we care for that which speaks God's word to us? Or will we dominate it, subdue it, wear it out, and ask where God is?
