When God’s mandates go unfulfilled on earth, God’s glory is diminished. Though mankind was given the mandate to “have dominion over” (that is, to care for) all of creation, we have not done a good job. Such images are in stark contrast to the pristine beauty and glory of Eden as presented in Genesis.

Fish become entangled in discarded fishing nets and lines, with bellies full of plastic debris they have swallowed. Many countries’ coastlines are littered with plastic and debris, and there is an “island” of plastic more than the twice the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean where currents have accumulated the debris. Marine litter is a huge ecological problem. 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.”

When trouble comes crashing in all around and we find ourselves weighed down by worry, we can experience inner peace by turning to the Lord. That is why He filled the pages of the Bible with encouraging words about who He is and who we are in His eyes. God’s plan for us does not include anxiety. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. If He cares for each petal or stem that blooms and fades within a season, how much more does He care for you and me? How much does He take to heart the things that cause us anxiety? The lily is merely something He created for our pleasure because we’re the ones who bear His image. More importantly, may we understand that God values us so much more than a lily. May you and I glorify God with the same simplicity. They do what they were designed to do, and what they were designed to do is to glorify God. They simply sway in the breeze, reaching heavenward toward the source of their water and sunshine and sustenance. But all his riches paled in comparison to the simplest lily in the field.Īnd how many office hours have those lilies put in? How many dues have they paid? Have you ever seen a lily suffering through an anxiety attack? They don’t second guess their purpose or put off their tasks. Solomon was a glorious king, Jesus tells us, with the wealth of several kingdoms at his disposal. Have you ever walked through a beautiful garden in the springtime? It’s difficult to be weighed down by the cares of the world when you’re surrounded by the majesty of God’s creation. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
