LOVE ALL OF GOD’S CREATURES
Prov. 12:10 New Living Translation: The godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel.
We have 5 cats. We have to clean up after them and they depend on us for food and shelter. In return we get a lot of entertaining moments and a lot of love. What does the Bible say about pets? The people of the Bible didn’t have pets the way we think of them. They did however have cattle, camels, sheep and other beasts of burden. These animals gave the people milk, transportation, and kept them warm with their fur. I’m sure after caring and tending to their animals, the people gave them names and treated them like family, the same way we give names to our pets today.
Thank you God for the animals you gave to Adam when you first created life; all the birds in the air, fish in the sea, and creatures that crawl on the ground. We take for granted all the blessings your creations give to us every day. Help us to remember you Lord, are the great Creator. Amen.
