Re:Verse passage – Genesis 1:26–31, Romans 8:18–22 (day five) Did you notice the context and background in Genesis for the design of human stewardship and rule of creation? It is part of being an image bearer. In other words, we are challenged to bear the image of God in our ruling and stewarding. We are created with the capability and capacity to steward creation as He would- with grace, love, compassion, wisdom, and creativity (to name a few). We are directed to reflect God’s glory in the way we manage and care for His creation. We are to rule and steward as God would. What kind of rule would that look like? What kind of stewardship would that look like? What kind of leadership would that look like? Perhaps a look at the “invisible image” in Colossians 1 would help answer. Even in this assigned task, the expectation is for God’s character and glory to be evident and visible in us.
What a responsibility!
What a privilege!
