Genesis 1:26-28
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
... and let them have dominion ... over all of the earth. Wonderful, isn't it? Today I have been praising God for His Creation –- everywhere I look I see how the world was tailor-made just for us! I do enjoy the seasonal fruit He provides – it is summer here in godless NZ; however last night was a little chilly and I had to turn the heater on, wrap up warmly and take a hot water bottle to bed. I had the strangest dream; the LORD deposited me in the middle of Antarctica, and just when I thought I was going to freeze to death He grabbed me, and with great force threw me into the sea – fairly easy for Him to do, considering His planet is mostly ocean. Thrashing about, I awoke with a terrible fright -- only to discover my (now very cold) hot water bottle had burst. Goodness me, I really am a silly old fool! You know, when it is very warm at night, I often dream that the LORD dumps me in a desert, and am often incredibly thirsty upon awakening. I am always grateful that there is milk in my fridge to make a cup of tea, and give thanks to God accordingly.
That reminds me, I must get the lamb chops out of the freezer to defrost in time for tomorrow night; Glory to GOD in the highest, for providing such succulent cuts ... how wonderful it is that, because of the LORD, we don't have to struggle to survive on His good Earth.
