Dominion Over Our Planet
July 5, 2008
When God created man, He gave us dominion over all the fish in the sea and the birds of the air. See Genesis 1:26-31. Most people don’t take that seriously.
When you finish drinking your soda pop, do you pitch it? Where? In your back seat? Out the window? Our environment is filling up with garbage. Our streets look trashy. God Blessed up by telling us we can rule over the animals. We are Blessed with a conscience and a brain although most people don’t use it.
When riding around the country, I notice the trash in a city, maybe because the one I live in doesn’t get much attention. I know a guy that saw an older man in a parking lot put a plastic bottle on the ground knowing he was going to leave it there as trash. So, this guy pointed it out to him saying, “mister, you forgot this bottle.” The older man said that he didn’t want it. So the guy said, “ok, then take it home with you and put it in the trash.” The older guy got huffy and took it and threw it in his car and left.
Maybe we should all do something like that. If we all take care of our trash, maybe our planet will last longer and look nicer. Don’t throw trash out of your car. Dispose of it properly.
God didn’t create a planet with trash on it already. We created our own garbage. We need to take care of it. How do you dispose of your trash in your car?
