God the Creator Mankind the Ruler

God the Creator Mankind the Ruler

In the beginning God ,,,,

This simple statement has become as source of such controversy because of the hardness of human being’s heart. Never in the history of our species have we been able to see the beauty of outer space, the depths of the ocean or the microscopic world in all of its complexity. Yet many believe that all this occurred randomly and without a guiding hand or a grand designer.

“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,
so that they may rule”

Never in the history of human kind have we been able to do so much and see so much through the force of our intellect and the application of our intelligence. Yet still many equate human kind with the other beast of the field, the birds of the air, and the life in the ocean. When the distinction in influence, power and obvious to the smallest child.

The softening of our heart in regards to believing in God and creator and man as ruler is evidenced by two other simple and obvious lessons contained in Genesis 1 & 2. We would be fruitful and multiple and fill the earth and we would rest.

Trusting God with the make up and design of our family is evidence that we are clearly trusting God to not give us more than we can handle. It is evidence that we trust him with our financial well being. More importantly it indicates that we trust him with our capacity to Love.

Resting on the Sabbath is also evidence that we trust him. It communicates that we trust him that our work will get done. It indicates that we trust him with our financial security. More importantly in communicates that we are willing to join him in the enjoyment of the blessing of our family, the thanksgiving that comes with labor, and that we can do this in the midst of the glory of his creation.
