An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
July 12
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYThe slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. (Proverbs 12:27)
The Bible speaks on about every subject of which you might imagine. In Proverbs 12:27 God’s Word speaks of hunting and conservation. As stewards of God’s wonderful creation, we are to conserve its resources. Each of God’s creatures is on Earth for our use (1 Timothy 4:4), and we are not to waste them. Some so called “environmentalists” go overboard “protecting” creatures at a great cost to God’s highest creation on earth, humans. God has given us the intelligence to hold a correct balance. However, it is never alright to waste the resources that He has provided for us. A diligent man will remember how precious the substance is and conserve that which he is afforded. I am blessed to think of how our Heavenly Father looked down through time and made provision for all our needs. Truly, the earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof. ~~~
