God does the creating – man does the creative nomenclature that will follow this
creation for the rest of its existence.
Scripture: Genesis 2:19-20
As we move into Genesis 2, especially verses 19 and 20, we find man exercising his
dominion. Verses 19 and 20 say, “Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the
field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And
whatever Adam called each living creature that was its name. So Adam gave names to all
cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not
found a helper comparable to him.” Man demonstrates his dominion in naming the creation.
Now we have a picture of God working together with man. God does the creating – man does
the creative nomenclature that will follow this creation for the rest of its existence.
Prayer-
Pray that you will conceive a picture of yourself working together with God. For the fact
that you have never created anything or led anything under another leader or in church
or any business or sports or academics or any endeavor should challenge you to wake
up to your dominion mandate. Not for self but in humble partnership with God.
