Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
We must be fruitful or creative since God created us in His
image. This message from God is sometimes known as the “creation mandate” or
“cultural mandate.” God brought into being a flawless creation and an ideal
platform and created humanity to continue the creation project. Remarkably, God
trusts us to carry out this extraordinary task of building on this earth he has
bestowed upon us. Through the work of humanity, God brings forth food and
drink, along with all products and services, knowledge, splendor, institutes,
societies, growth, health, and praise and glory to himself. Remarkably, God
trusts us to carry out this extraordinary task of building on this earth he has
bestowed upon us.
A Family psychologist asked a mother, "Which of your five children do you love the most?" The mother said, "I love all my children the same." The psychologist asked again, "No, Mam, all your children are different from each other, and you surely must love one of them more than the others." Then the mother responded, "Well, that depends. When one of my children is sick, I love that one the most. When one of them is hurt, I love that one the most. When one of them is alone, I love that one the most. And when one of my children has been bad, I love that one the most."
What a difference we could make in this world if we could
comprehend how much God loves us and undergo God's love with a trusting faith
in praising our Creator. All of us could praise God more if we'd become like
little children in the sincerity of our faith. Many humans find themselves in a
trap that places the most value on what one has or can do. Moreover, our prayer
life also reflects our requests for more significant activity. How often do we
sit and worship God with no agenda other than pure praise?
