Human beings were
commissioned by God Himself to attend to the earth. Instead we have attacked the earth and robbed
it of all it has in order to satisfy our greed that we disguise as need. God promise to provide for all our needs but
not to satisfy our greed. So we took
things into our own hands and developed and developed a world of technology
that is now attacking not only the earth, but has turned on its maker and will
eventually rob and destroy us.
Compare the creatures
of the earth to humans and one can clearly see human beings are out of order
with the original idea of creation.
Human beings are not satisfied with life itself. The basics of food, water, and shelter are
not enough. Simply living in the beauty
of God’s Presence and with one another is not enough. The demand is for more stuff and so we take
it upon ourselves to manufacture more, at the expense of everything we have
been freely given.
We are not content
with the freely flowing fountain of living water. We build our own cisterns and fill them with
stuff that we think makes us happy. But
the cisterns break so we build more and continue to try and fulfill our greed. The result is full hands but empty
souls. We destroy in order to build and
eventually we will end up with nothing but destruction all around us.
