Every single thing that God does for people’s survival,

for their continuing existence, reproduction, and subsistence

is very important, is very important.

Every single thing that God does among the things of His creation

is closely related to and inseparable from the survival of mankind.

The things of God’s creation cannot be separated from His sovereignty,

and not a single person can separate themselves from His sovereignty.

Losing His sovereignty and losing His provision

would mean that people’s lives would disappear.

This is the importance of God establishing environments

for survival for mankind.

II

It does not matter what race you belong to or what piece of land you live on,

be it in the West or the East—

you cannot separate yourself from the environment for survival

that God has established for mankind, and you cannot separate yourself

from the nurture and provisions of the environment for survival.

No matter what your livelihood is, what you rely on to live,

and what you rely on to sustain your life in the flesh,

you cannot separate yourself from God’s sovereignty and His management.

No matter what your livelihood is, what you rely on to live,

and what you rely on to sustain your life in the flesh,

you cannot separate yourself from God’s sovereignty and His management.
