It All Belongs to God

The Inescapable God
God Reveals

Genesis 1:26-31 (The Message)

 ^26-28 God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them
      reflecting our nature
   So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
      the birds in the air, the cattle,
   And, yes, Earth itself,
      and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."
   God created human beings;
      he created them godlike,
   Reflecting God's nature.
      He created them male and female.
   God blessed them:
      "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
   Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
      for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."

 ^29-30 Then God said, "I've given you
      every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth
   And every kind of fruit-bearing tree,
      given them to you for food.
   To all animals and all birds,
      everything that moves and breathes,
   I give whatever grows out of the ground for food."
      And there it was.

 ³¹ God looked over everything he had made;
      it was so good, so very good!
   It was evening, it was morning—
   Day Six.

For Reflection
Human kind reflects the image of God, The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit.  We are not Gods, but, God-like.  Spend some time today thinking about how human kind reflects God. To what extent are you merciful, gracious, slow to anger, faithful, and abounding in steadfast love?  God is in you.  Listen and you will hear Him speak.

Pray that you recognize the likeness of God that resides within you.  Pray that you will be worthy of the creation He as made for you and in you. Pray to seek and find the godliness in others.
