He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for the service of man, to bring forth food out of the earth, and wine cheers the heart of man, and oil makes his face shine, and bread sustains the heart of man. (Psalm 104:14-15)
The Lord owns the earth and everything in it. He created it all. The earth is given to mankind as a stewardship and they must one day give account of their management of the earth and its resources. As a nation, we have been blessed with abundant resources in timber, minerals and its people. Ultimately, our nation and its leaders will be judged in the way its resources are managed for the benefit of all its peoples, regardless of their beliefs and racial, social or economic backgrounds. The government must utilize the nation’s wealth to ensure justice, peace and stability. Its wealth must also be used for the underprivileged, e.g. to defend the cause of the fatherless, the widow and the foreigners living in our midst. The nation’s wealth must especially be used to help the poor
Prayer Points:
- Greater accountability over how the nation’s wealth is being used
- The government to manage and multiply the wealth of the nation wisely
- Our natural resources to be preserved and used carefully
- The wealth of the nation to be shared to all and the needy.
