A Proper View of Nature

In our day and age, there is a lot of talk about the environment. Some people worship nature—they think it is more important than people. Others carelessly destroy creation.

What is a proper view of nature?

Well, we need to remember that God gave us dominion over creation. But this doesn’t mean we can just do whatever we want with what God has made. Scripture teaches that God delights in His creation. God even cares for the sparrows and lilies!

We need to care for creation but also remember that humans alone are made in God’s image. We have a special status because of this. Though nature isn’t more important than people, we still need to be good stewards of what God has trusted to us.
