“So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female. God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth.” God also said, “Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This will be food for you, for all the wildlife of the earth, for every bird of the sky, and for every creature that crawls on the earth #— #everything having the breath of life in it #— #I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. Evening came and then morning: the sixth day.”
Genesis 1:27-31 CSB
It strikes me that as God created the universe, Earth and everything in it, he was already taking care of the needs of His creation. Humanity was not an afterthought or a sudden whim of creation…all that He created prior was in support of mankind.
That is the exact opposite of the theory of evolution.
Finally, I love that we were made as a reflection of God…having creativity, responsibility and agency. When used according to Gods design, they bring glory to Him. But those are so easy to abuse and use them to fulfill our own desires…every time drawing us away from God.
Lord, help me to use my whole person according to Your plan, for Your Glory to honor You!
