Eye on the World: Eye on the environment
Much of the East Coast of the United States is battening down the hatches for Hurricane Sandy on Monday and Tuesday, and the storm has already become one of the biggest Atlantic hurricanes in 24 years of record-keeping.
The environment is making headlines elsewhere in the world, too: Saudi Arabia recently announced a huge natural gas find in the Red Sea, which could allow the country to export more valuable oil as its own domestic energy needs are met through natural gas and other means. Meanwhile, increased oil production in North America is creating a boom in railroads, as pipelines have not been able to keep up with production.
Whether we’re eyeing a natural disaster, or thinking about energy and the environment, is there anything spiritual thinkers can do to have a positive impact? There certainly is! Prayer to comprehend the environment as spiritual, under the control of a loving God, does a lot to calm fear, promote responsible stewardship, and maintain safety when it comes to our natural surroundings.
