Ninety two point nine six million miles away lies the biggest star in our solar system. It was breathed into existence by God and commanded to illuminate the world. We see the sun for approximately half of the day depending on the time of year. One thing that is certain though is when we can’t see the sun it still shines. When the sun goes beyond the horizon we are all confident about it breaking the other plane and beginning to shine again in a few hours.
The same God that illuminated the sun and stars with a simple “Let there be light” formed you from the dirt of the earth. There are two things you need to know about that, write them down on your mental notepad or post them on your fridge.
The first one is you are created in his image, in his likeness. You were perfectly created made by God as his most treasured creation. You were created out of Love to be Loved and to show Love. I know I talk a lot about love and it’s because I think that’s the easiest thing to do, and the one we overlook the most.
As I was sitting here pondering the first point I realized that the second point is harder for me to hang on to. Man was created from the dirt of the Earth, which I get the part the I struggle with is we weren’t left in the dirt. In Genesis 1:26 it says “Then God said “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all of the creatures that move along the ground.”
We were created by our God in his image to be Rulers. Why do we worry ourselves over things we can’t control, over things that aren’t fit to occupy our mind. Why can we not step into today into a new week and approach it as a conqueror. Give God your day, declare today will be a day where people see God through me, through all that I do, say, and how I act. There is no greater act of leading than serving.
Go out today and be a leader, be a ruler, serve someone, love someone. Let’s strive to be more like Jesus today.
I love y’all.
