HEED THE GREED

Machines and technology that were made by man to provide a more convenient life for us are now threatening to end that very life, and the world around it.  Our greed for ease has made some rich enough to enjoy that ease but has also made others bare more burdens and know no ease in their lives.  There is a lot of finger pointing for our present predicaments in many areas of our lives but the truth is when one finger points at another there are three fingers pointing back at the one doing the pointing.  We are all to blame.

We have all failed at the one responsibility God as Creator gave us…care for and attend to His Creation.  Thinking it was ours to do as we pleased with it, we used and abused it rather than see it as His and help it to flower and flourish.  The shame is ours to bear…all of us.

Rather than arguing with one another we need to all agree and take responsibility for repairing and restoring what we have destroyed and do what we can to make it right again.  We need to heed the greed and see our selfish ways and take on our responsibility to care for and attend to all that God created for His glory and our delight.

Machines and technology can make things bigger and faster, but they cannot make things better.  There are too many unintended consequences to tend to in the aftermath of their work.  They just don’t clean up after themselves very well.
