"God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'" Genesis 1:27-28 (NAS)
We tend to ask why, if there really is a benevolent God, bad things still happen. The common answer is, we live in a fallen world, but the elephant in the room is standing there in Genesis 1: God put us in charge and we haven't done a very good job. We were built to be the bosses and instead we're wandering around trying to find someone to take the lead and/or the blame.
Jesus already secured our victory, which means we are not subject to fear, sin, worry, depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, abuse, or anything else we use as an excuse not to learn, heal, grow, change, engage, inspire, encourage, move forward, and be productive.
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Romans 8:37 (NIV)
Take the victory God already handed to you, and go learn, heal, grow, change, engage, inspire, encourage, move forward, and be productive. LIVE.
