God’s scripture lays down a guide for a healthy relationship between man and nature.

Genesis 1:2:8 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth”.

GOD GAVE US THE EARTH TO CARE FOR.

Genesis 2:15: Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

GOD PUT US IN NATURE TO DWELL AND KEEP.

Proverbs 12:10: A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

RIGHTEOUS MEN TREAT THEIR ANIMALS WELL.

Exodus 23:10-11: “Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat.

GOD SET SEASONS OF PRODUCTIVITY AND SEASONS OF REST. THE POOR MUST BE FED.
