Environmental Stewardship - Creation Care

Job 12:7-10.
But ask the animals, and they will
teach you; or birds of the air and they will tell you; or speak to the earth and it will teach you; or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the lord has done this. In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
