Hello, friends! Today's prompt, courtesy of Zach, is the song "God's Country" by Blake Shelton.
There are a lot of interesting lyrics in this song. Blake sings about sunrises, dogs, the devil going down to Georgia, pinewood boxes, muddy riversides, moonshine... But the line that stuck out to me is this:
"Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground / This is God's country"
I'm reminded of Psalm 24, which starts out this way:
"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers."
Everything we have is God's. From the very beginning, he has given us the responsibility to take care of "God's country." That will look a little different for all of us, but the essence is the same: to be good stewards of the earth.
What are some ways we can do that? Share some ideas in the Facebook comments!
