Subdue and Rule

Scripture:

Genesis 1:28  "God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth'".

Observation:

When God created Adam and Eve, He gave them His plan for their lives.  He said they should be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it and rule over it.  Wow!  That's a big plan to be given, but it is the plan of God.  He put them in charge.

Application:

God wants His people to subdue and rule over his creation.  We are not called to simply stand by and watch what happens around us.  We are to subdue and rule!  We must rise up and fulfill God's plan for creation.  We must implement His plan for our lives.  He has so much more in store for us than we can imagine ourselves.  We are part of a huge plan.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, help me not to cower in fear when things don't go my way.  Help me to walk in faith and learnt o subdue and rule over every area of my life and over the things you have put me in charge of.  Thanks for your word today.

Your Son,
Jeff
