The Bible says, “For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time” (Romans 8:22, NLT). Look around - rivers rise, fields fail, heat records are broken again and again. Creation is groaning. But those groans are not just noise; they are a call from God to care.
In this short Christian devotional, Salvation Army officer and pastor Rob Westwood-Payne explores what Romans 8 teaches us about creation’s cry and God’s promise to make all things new. Sin bent God’s good world, but the hope of the gospel is that Christ will return, creation will be renewed, and love will have the last word.
This daily devotional is for you if you are:
A Christian seeking daily encouragement and simple Bible application
Wondering how faith speaks into climate change, floods, drought, and a groaning world
Exploring faith and asking, “Where is God when creation suffers?”
🌍 In today’s devotional you’ll learn:
Why creation groans and what that means for us
How small acts - recycling, wasting less, planting, serving, and praying - point to God’s kingdom
How the Spirit helps us live in hope, even in the face of climate chaos
👉 Don’t just scroll past the world’s pain. Hear God’s call in creation’s groan, and discover the hope Christ gives.
