God’s creatures are such blessings. As I am writing this, my cat is sitting comfortably snuggled up to me. I just love that! I do truly believe that God’s creatures are extra blessings from Him. Whether they are our pets, or even just the wild birds that we enjoy watching outside. God truly has a purpose for all things that He has created! From the critters that scurry about, to the butterflies that fly around, to the bees that pollinate and our pets that comfort us just when we need it most. Not everyone has to own a pet, but we must all be kind to all God’s creatures. Friend, look around you and at all the creatures God has created. From that silly squirrel creating maybe a little mischief, to the birds that sing, the little ladybug or butterfly so beautifully created, or the bee who knows just how to help things grow and the ever so intelligent ant. Not to mention our pets, if you have them. God is so creative and truly the ultimate Creator. May we praise Him for it all and be kind to what He has made.

Be kind to God’s creatures

Genesis 1:21:24-25 NIV

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Proverbs 12:10 NIV

The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

Psalm 145:9 NIV

The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.

Psalm 150:6 NIV

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
