God cherishes all creation from the beginning of the earth 從創世以來，神愛惜一切造物Day 19 of Lent 10 March 2010 (Wednesday)
Scripture Meditation> Revelation 21:1-5 and 21:22–22:7
1. What other similarities and differences do you observe between our earth and this picture in Revelation?
2. How do you think this picture of the new heaven and new earth should affect our attitude to creation today?
Carbon Fast
> Pray
In the new heaven and the new earth, God will take away the curse from the sin of Adam and Eve and bless the land and His people again. Pray that God will help us know how much He cherishes all creation from the beginning of the earth, so that we know how to be a loyal steward of the earth in the days before the new heaven and the new earth, honouring His purpose for creation and caring for creation.
> ‘Say “No”’
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) is one of the main air pollutant in Hong Kong. Petroleum products such as paint, adhesive, cleanser and hair spray will release VOCs. Please say ‘No’ to hair spray and use less cleanser from now on, to release less VOCs in our daily life and make the air cleaner.

＞祈求
在新天新地裡，神除去了一切隨始祖犯罪而來的咒詛，重新祝福大地與祂的子民。求神幫助我們明白從創世以來，祂對一切造物的愛惜，好讓我們在等待新天新地的日子裡，持守祂創造的心意，作個忠心的管理者，關愛造物。
＞「堅決說『不』」
揮發性有機化合物（簡稱VOCs）是造成香港空氣污染的主要污染物之一，而油漆、黏合劑、清潔劑、噴髮膠等石油產品皆會釋放VOCs。建議你今後不再使用噴髮膠及慎用清潔劑，從個人生活開始，減少VOCs排放，減少空氣污染 。
