Global Warming? - Genesis 8:22

“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and nights Shall not cease.”- Genesis 8:22

    I don’t believe that a believer could find a verse in Scripture that more pointedly denies the existence of what many today refer to as, “Global Warming.” While I understand the secularist position, it is the Christian’s belief in such a fallacious theory that should be of concern to us. To believe what secularist say would be to cast significant doubt on the very word of God.
    “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”  - Isaiah 55:11. God’s word does not return to Him void. Ever! But does this let mankind off the hook for his contribution to the destruction of the environment? Emphatically, the answer to this question is - NO!
     “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” - Genesis 2:15. Since the dawn of time, man’s place in the world has been in a custodial role. He was commanded by God to tend and KEEP the world. We were charged with subduing the earth and having dominion over every creature. “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” - Genesis 1:28.
    Our mission on earth, regarding the sustaining and keeping of the planet, was (and still is) to be good stewards of everything God has given us here. And while it may not be a doctrine vitally related to our salvation, it is still a command from God. “Therefore do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.’” - Numbers 35:34.
    We must continue to remember what our Heavenly Father has said to us with regards to  being faithful in the small things - “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” - Matthew 25:21.
    God wants us to take care of His planet, His air, His water, and His creatures that inhabit it with us. Let us all be good and faithful stewards to the glory and joy of God.
