Throughout Scripture we read that animals praise God. Psalm 148 commands all of creation to praise the Lord, including the animals.

In this 5-minute video, Randy Alcorn talks about Romans 8:18-22, which says that the whole creation was subject to suffering and futility because of human sin. Creation is under man’s dominion and will share the rewards of his redemption just as it shared the punishment for his sin.

God is so gracious to give us animals. In Genesis 1 and 2, one of the first responsibilities given to the first man and woman was to care for the animals.
