You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet (Psalm 8:6).
Read Psalm 8
Psalm 8 speaks of how God has made humankind rulers over the earth, a theme repeated a number of times in Scripture.
In Genesis 9, when God blessed Noah and his family after the flood, he said: ‘Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.’
If we understand what the Lord calls us to, our life takes on purpose. God calls us to partner with him and bring his rulership into the situations we face.
I am aware that whenever I pray the petition in the Lord’s Prayer – ‘Thy kingdom come, thy will be done’ – I, and the rest of the church, am part of the answer.
Let’s take our rightful place and declare, ‘How majestic is your name [Lord] in all the earth!’
Lord, you are great, and everything has been placed under your feet. Please help us to live this day with purpose. Amen.
