My wild animal this week is the amazing elephant. I love the endless variety and beauty of creation. Of course God made people to care for His creation as we read in Genesis 1--, 26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our
image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the
sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals
that scurry along the ground.”
27 So God created human beings in his
own image.
In the image of God
he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the
earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and
all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
Then in Genesis 2 it says, 15 The Lord
God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.
People were made to set in order God's wild creation. Sadly because of sin which comes from selfishness, we have made a mess of His creation. However, the artist made in God's image often sets order to things observed and brings out the beauty God instilled in it. I was able to train with famed artist Juliette Aristides this summer and she said, as artists we undo the fall (into sin and decay) in our work. Jesus is the ultimate artist. He can undo the sin and decay of your heart. You can be made new by Him and He can unlock the beauty God instilled in you His creation. See the two ways to live link at the top.
