In God's Image

Scripture:

Genesis 2:26 "Let us make man in Our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every living thing that creeps on the earth".

Observation:

God created man in His own likeness and image. He gave man dominion over everything on the earth. God's intention was for man to be like Him. Man fell into sin and lost his place of dominance in the earth. History is really "his" story of redeeming man and getting Him back to His original intention for them. He wants man to be like Him!

Application:

God's desire is for us to be in that original state. He wants us to be like Him! He created us to reign and rule over His creation. Sin has separated us from God's intentions for us. Calvary has restored our relationship with God and given us access to Him again, yet we do not walk there in His presence enough. We must begin to walk with God and become more like Him every day. Seek Him today and realize that He desires more for us than we desire.

Prayer:

Lord, You gave man dominion over all the earth. You wanted man to rule over the earth and have dominion. We are falling so short of your original intention. Help me to walk with you closer, hear your voice clearer, and do all You ask me to do.

Yours,

Jeff
