1 Of God s Creation Bible Verse You ve let them rule over your handiwork, putting everything under their feet. (Psalm 8:6) Session 1 June 7 Bible Story Genesis 2:15-20 Leap of Faith I can care for God s creations. Before You Begin God did not simply create and then move on. God created, provided, and gave human beings the role of caretakers for all that God had created. When we hear the word rule, we might think that God gave human beings complete authority and power over all that God created. For some people, this may be seen as a license to exploit all that God created in whatever manner they should choose. But authority can also have a different meaning. It can mean to care for, as well. When God made human beings the caretakers of God s Creation, human beings were called to be God s representatives. God expects us to exercise the same care and concern that God would exercise in the natural world. We are partners with God. Children are close to their environment both physically and spiritually. They look at the world with awe and wonder, and are easily taught respect for it. To them, everything is a miracle the hatching of a bird egg, the first flowers of spring, the rainbow in the sky. They take time to appreciate God s wonderful Creation. Children are eager to accept responsibility for the care of God s world. They simply need to be taught how to do it. There is a biblical and theological basis for the care of the earth. Environmental protection is more than a law; it is God s command. God even entrusted human beings to name the animals. As we teach children how to be caretakers, we begin with that which is most concretely observed. You are training future adults who will someday have the power, the resources, and the motivation to accomplish God s purpose for Creation.
