"Placed on the earth, a creature among the creatures, yet a creature above all other creatures while subject to God, the human race has a God-given task...to fill the earth, subdue it, rule the rest of the creatures with the benevolent justice that reflects God's pattern of kingship, work/serve the earth and care for it. On these conditions, and with these expectations, the earth with all its resources has been entrusted to us." (C.Wright)
...and all the while, "as we are going" and as we are living out this spirit-filled life under God's reign (the kingdom living we read about in the SOTM), we are to be a blessing "to all the nations," sharing the Good News of Jesus (who offers hope and rescue, redemption and shalom) and making disciples all along the way...wow, humbling and exciting!
so, friends, what does all of this look like, practically, in our day-to-day, moment-by-moment living!
each one of us, uniquely crafted, have an equally unique part...handpicked moments for every individual from the very hands of God! Divine-Image-Bearers...each one of you treasured, loved & cared for by the Almighty...and chosen "for such a time as this!"
loving & praying for you today! : )
