Title

Who's first in YOUR life?

Description

Why do we need to pray? If God is sovereign, can He not do anything He wants to do, anytime He wants to do it?

As He created life on the earth, God said "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over...all the earth."

(Genesis 1:26) "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'" (Genesis 1:27-28) Also, Psalm 8 refers to humans as having been made "a little lower than God" and "made...to have dominion over the works of Your hands." The earth was completely given over to Adam as its manager or governor. According to pastor and Bible scholar Dutch Sheets, "so complete and final was Adam's authority over the earth that he, not just God, had the ability to give it away to another! ...So complete and final was God's decision to do things on earth through human beings that it cost God the Incarnation to regain what Adam gave away. ...Without question, humans were forever to be God's link to authority and activity on the earth."*
