Read about God as creator in Genesis 1:20-25; Psalm 104; Amos 4:13; Amos 5:8; and Psalm 19:1-6. Write a paragraph describing the rights God has and the responsibilities that God takes toward the physical world He created (see also Psalm 145:15-16, Matthew 6:25-34). Christianity teaches that food, clothing, and shelter are gifts from God. Even though people work to generate income for them, a person’s health and job are instrumental ways for God to care for humans (for more information, see the Veith article, “God at Work”). By God’s design, the Bible teaches that humans are to live simply, not be wasteful, to use renewable resources, to recycle non-renewable resources, not to litter, to care for the earth and all creatures, to be thankful for God’s providence, and to care for other humans. Ordinarily, God uses natural means to care for His creation (nature and people) – so that a farmer in Minnesota may raise corn that will feed cattle in Idaho, become ethanol in Iowa, and be used for food in Indiana and India. Those means include humans taking care of the world and others. However, sometimes (rarely), God can intervene directly. Use the concordance or other resources in the NIV Study Bible to explore stories of God’s providence and natural or supernatural power over creation (think about the Flood, Joseph in Egypt, the Plagues, the Red Sea, manna and quail, and other miracles where God shows power over the creation; e.g., consider passages like Mark 4:35-41). Describe God’s power involved in the forces and laws of nature, as well as how certain fixed laws can be suspended in supernatural displays of God’s power like in the miracles.

This activity delves into another aspect of the Old Testament. Some of the Old Testament is narrative reading, like that we have covered already. Some is Hebrew poetry, like the psalms we read for last week. However, a majority of the content of the Old Testament is prophetic writing which speaks a message from God to some audience, either believers or non-believers. Many of the prophets and characters interacted with God, and their lives were influenced by their faith and their relationship with God. The readings this week all reflect a message from God that is drawn from the character’s experience. Job’s experience teaches believers how to deal with significant personal loss; Hosea’s experience reflects God’s faithful love for the world in a manner similar to a faithful lover in an unfaithful situation; Daniel’s experience was as a believer captured and told to serve a foreign king that worshiped other gods, and how Daniel responded. Isaiah, on the other hand, received verbal messages from God that pointed to a far distant Savior, the Messiah who we recognize as Jesus.

Read Job 1-7, 38-42; Isaiah 1-11; 40-41; 52:13-53:12; Hosea 1, 3, 11-14; and Daniel 1-6. In the first paragraph, describe in detail the experiences, good and bad, of one of the four characters in the Bible reading. Try to ensure that all four characters are represented among members of the cohort. Describe the way in which experience shaped that character, and how God uses suffering and other experiences for His almighty purpose. What did each person learn from suffering or difficulty?

describe humanity’s role toward God’s creation (see Genesis 1:26-31; Psalm 8:6-8; Matthew 21:33-46). What does it mean from a Christian perspective for people to have a God-given responsibility for the physical world/universe? (Be as specific as possible.) This does not mean that Christians are the only ones who should be environmentally conscious, but it does suggest that Christians have a motive to serve God by caring for His world.
