Nehemiah 9: 6 (NRSVA)

6 And Ezra said: ‘You are the Lord, you alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. To all of them you give life, and the host of heaven worships you.

Scientists think the earth is around 4.5 billion years old. I have been watching Chris Packham’s TV show Earth. It astounds me all that has needed to take place over hundreds of millions of years for life to evolve on earth. Hundreds of millions of years of volcanic activity, Hundreds of millions of years in a deep freeze. It is amazing what the earth had to go through to make it the perfect environment for life to flourish in. 

Life didn’t happen just by chance. God took hundreds of millions of careful years to carefully cultivate the perfect place for life. God took hundreds of millions of years to grow the perfect habitat for the creation he made in his image. 

What took hundreds of millions of years to make let us not destroy within one century. 

PRAYER:

Creator of all

Give us insight,

Give us wisdom, 

To appreciate the world you made for us.

Through your Son Jesus help us to know the love that went into making us and all your creation.

And through your Holy Spirit guide us to be loving guardians of all you have created.

Amen
