TEXT: Psalm
8:1-9
TOPIC: LICENSED
TO RULE
Compared with the glory
of God, the stars and the galaxies, human beings are very insignificant and
inconsequential (Psalm 8:4). Yet, the powerful and majestic God who created the
universe does not despise us.
We are inconsequential in
ourselves but God has honoured us with a special place in His creation. We have
been given a status a little lower than the angels (8:5).
God Himself appointed and
licensed mankind as rulers of His creation (Genesis 1:26). Human beings are
regents over terrestrial animals which live on land, aquatic animals which live
in the sea and those which fly.
Unfortunately, we have
squandered and destroyed the ecosystem of these other creatures, and even our
own.
We have also depleted the
ozone layer with industrial chemicals and pollutants which cause harmful rays
to reach the earth and harm living organism.
God must be disappointed at
our reckless mismanagement of what He has entrusted us with here on earth.
QUESTION: Are
you a good or bad manager of God’s creation here on earth?
PRAYER: I confess my sin of bad stewardship, mismanagement, misrule and misuse of what God has placed under my care.
Remain
Blessed
