Remember the sky, the highest heaven, the earth and everything it contains belong to the Lord your God. [Deuteronomy 10:14 (GW)]

Lord, thank you for the reminder that we don’t own our world; we’re just renters here. When we depart, we’re expected to leave the earth in as good a condition (or better) than it was when we arrived. Forgive us, Lord, for not taking better care of your beautiful creation. Guide us so that we become good stewards of your gifts.
