This is a straight to the point kind of verse:
Proverbs 12:10
10 A righteous man regards the life of his animal,
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
God is telling us in this verse that a righteous man will treat his animals well. It is a shame to see folks mistreat animals. I have seen some horrible stories in recent months on the news. Horses starving to death, dogs starving and needing medical treatment, and even a place that is suppose to be safe for animals...an animal shelter not taking care of the animals...how very sad. Even though it is sad God takes it even further by saying if you are right with Him this won't happen with your animals. A righteous man will take good care of his animals! Then God describes how the mercy of the wicked is to animals...cruel. That is exactly what people are when they mistreat animals....cruel!
So this morning let us remember our responsibilities with another one of God's creations...animals! Treat them well!
