Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man regardeth the life of his
beast:
but the tender mercies of the
wicked are cruel.
Animals were created by the Lord and put here
intentionally. In the beginning the Lord
gave Adam the privilege of naming the animals. “And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the
field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he
would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the
name thereof. “ (Gen 2:19) The Lord gave Adam and Eve ‘dominion’ or ‘rulership’
over the animals. We are accountable for
what we do with this responsibility. Do
we neglect the care of our household pets?
Do we loathe animals that the Lord entrusted us with? Do we idolize our pets and have them rule
over us? A righteous man cares for the
needs of his beast and esteems this dominion as God-given and a commission he or
she must handle faithfully.
