Water

19 October 2010.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

The dryness of the African land is something that is unique and can only be experienced when you walk in the bush and see just how dry the ground actually is. The grass crunches under foot and last years weeds crumble to the touch, the trees are budding in the hope of rain and the animals are grazing off of exotic syringe trees. The clouds bring the promise of rain, yet they pass over the land and not even a drop of rain falls.

Having boreholes and irrigation from perennial springs makes all the difference to the way one lives, especially when these are used wisely. How we take water for granted in our lives, we use it in so many ways, until one day we have none and then what will we do? In cities water abuse is common, because it comes in a pipe, those that have to pay for it use it less than those that do not. The streets of the city are contaminated with dust and grime from vehicles, cigarette butts, litter, sewage all flow into the storm water systems and into the rivers.

Each person is accountable for their part in the pollution cycle and we cannot blame anyone but ourselves. What are you doing to save and  keep the water systems clean? God has put you in charge of this resource and wants us to care for the world He gave us.

Be encouraged today to be accountable for the world God has given you.

Point to ponder: God made you His caretaker.

Question to consider: Do you care for the environment?
