Our scripture for the Daily Devotional today is taken from Genesis 1:24-28. The ultimate creation from an infinite mind is capped with the creation of mankind. Made in the image of the Almighty, we are to rule upon this earth as He does over the entire universe.
“And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
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.”
God capped His creation with mankind!
Although mankind was the one that brought sin upon this earth, condemning the soil, skies, and every creature, we were created to represent God on earth. Created in the image of God we were created to rule as He rules.
Created in the likeness of God, we were created for communion and a relationship with the Lord of All. No other creation or living thing was given the unique fingerprint and DNA of the King.
When we follow the word of God, we are told that God has numbered the hairs on our heads and laid out the days of our lives. Our Father is intimately involved and concerned about each and every one of us. We are His prized creation and loved more than we can imagine.
Let’s Pray
Dear Father,
Thank you Father that You have created us. You have taken the time to knit each one of us in our mother’s womb. Help me to know and experience how much You love me today.
In Jesus’ Name,
