Original Intent

 Scripture:

“God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.””Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

When you want to get to the purpose of something, you have to know the original intent to the designer. What did they see as the purpose of whatever they designed. When you look at God’s original intention for man, you quickly see it was to fill the earth and subdue it and rule over it. We were made to rule over the earth.

Application:

As believers, we must realize that God didn’t put us on this earth just to get by and hopefully leave the world a little better place. He created us to rule over everything He created. We were made in His image so we could use what he gave us for His purposes. Rather than living a substandard life, we are to realign and rule with Him. We are more than conquerors! We are overcomers! We are victorious, but we must live like it. 

Prayer:

Father, in 2025, help me to live as one who was designed to rule over the earth and everything in it. Help me to walk in Your purposes for mankind, being made in Your image. Let me look more and more likee You this year. Let my life bring Your glory and fulfill Your purposes.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
