Re: Verse reading–Genesis 1:26-28; 2:18-25 (day three)
“Let them rule…over all the earth.” The destiny of man to rule over the created order bookends the Bible. In Genesis and in Revelation, we discover God’s explicit intention that we become the kind of people who can be entrusted to rule. And let us understand: To rule isn’t to sit on a throne and bark orders. Rather, to rule is to have say over the flourishing of creation—to allocate resources and design systems and execute processes that realize the potential God has built into the universe. Such an endeavor requires wisdom. Ruling without wisdom results in…the kind of world we live in right now. Let us get quickly to God and seek from him the wisdom that we will need to reign with him in this age and in the age to come.
