Over All The Earth

Today as I was enjoying the Sabbath I noticed how green everything was in the backyard and forest. It made me think about how God has given us the earth to watch over.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Interestingly enough man was created from the beginning to be like God. Here He gave us charge over everything. Sometimes when I look at the world like the creation of God that it is, I can get a sense of this direction given to us from the beginning. It is as if I can sense the responsibility we have to watch over it all. When Jesus returns, I believe we will all have areas of the new heaven and earth to watch over and take care of just as we have had here. It is like a training ground here for that day. Just some interesting thoughts on a Sabbath day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High. Please forgive us when we mess up Your creation. Help us to be better stewards over all You give us. Please send us today Your healing, deliverance, and abundant provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
