Because nature and humans often clash in our fallen world, we should certainly practice dominion over these creatures by exterminating when we must. But rather than vilify cockroaches, we should recognize that the Creator exquisitely equipped them to bring him glory. The next time you step on a roach in your house, remember, it might be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but it’s the right creature for the job God gave it to do when it’s in the right place.
