Verse of the day
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
Psalm 36:6
Voice of the day
Criticisms I’ve received personally in the church [imply] animal welfare is a peripheral issue. The fact is these are God’s creatures who are suffering, and we’re responsible, as part of our Christian vocation, to be stewards of our earth and of all the animals.
Prayer of the day
Lord expand our vision to know how to better care for the other animals and creatures in our midst; though we are special in that we are made in your image, may we not use that as a way to dominate cruelly over what you have asked us to steward well.
