THE EARTH HATH HE GIVEN
TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN
God will not come and wear your trouser for you, he has given you legs and hands and brain, you are not a robot.
God will not come down from heaven to wear your trouser for you. He already gave you hands and legs. Responsibility is part of God’s design for man. From the beginning, God gave the earth to man to manage, cultivate, and administer. Man was never created to be helpless; man was created with dominion.
The Psalmist said in Psalm 115:16, “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.” That means the affairs of the earth are within the jurisdiction of man. God is not running governments, businesses, economies, or societies directly from heaven. He gave man intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and the ability to make decisions.

Many times, people blame God for poverty, hardship, and suffering, but the problem is not the earth God created. The earth is rich with resources, possibilities, and abundance. The challenge is in the management of those resources by men.
When one man controls the wealth meant for millions, imbalance is created. When greed replaces stewardship, poverty increases. When corruption replaces justice, suffering multiplies. Difficulties in society are often the result of man’s failure to manage the earth with equity, compassion, and wisdom.

God has done His part by giving man the earth, ability, and capacity. Man must now do his part through responsibility, productivity, fairness, and proper administration.
The quality of life on earth is largely determined by the quality of man’s management. If men operate in love, justice, and sound thinking, the earth becomes better for everyone. But where selfishness and oppression dominate, pain and lack become inevitable.
The answer is not waiting for heaven to intervene physically; the answer is men renewing their minds and functioning according to God’s wisdom. 'l
