Psalms 115:16 is Just Alright with Me

“The heavens are the Lord’s heavens; but the earth He has given to the sons of men.” 

Whatever that means.

On this particular Earth Day, nestled this year in a most high Christian holiday weekend, I choose the environmentalist interpretation: God expects we be stewards of His creation.

Even the most casual Christians know the Genesis story. In the beginning there was nothing, then God made the heavens and the earth. Immediately thereafter, seeing a planet without form, God summoned the light, and He saw the light was good.

I mean, it’s right there on page one.

But looking down now, I wonder, would He still feel the same?
