Short Devotions For Today's Christian

Danna's

Short Inspired Devotions from the Bible

"I'll tell you this; the personal relationship that's found between God and His children (thanks to Christ) is a privilege that only mankind can enjoy."

Antonio L. Mitchell

The Highlight of God's Creation

Genesis 1:26 states: "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'"

I'll tell you this, when it comes to one having dominion, know that it simply means, to rule as God's agent; to rule as God's elect; to rule as God's representative.

And if people are going to rule as God rules, make no mistake, they will need to rule wisely and prudently.

For example: When we look at the greatness from within nature, we see things, like how a crab can live on land, or under the sea.

We also see, how the brown bear can sleep for four months uninterrupted.

And what about, how a hammerhead shark, can smell a drop of blood, from within the large vastness of the ocean in which it lives.

Understand that God's most glorious passion, is you and I. And we are the only creatures, that He requires a personal relationship with daily. For He doesn't require such a personal relationship, when it comes to birds of the air, or the beasts of the fields, or the oceans very own aquatic creatures. Oh, what a blessed privilege that we have, when it comes to being the children of God. So today, let's renew that special privilege; that intimate relationship, with our Heavenly Father; and let's make Him the greatest of all our obsessions -- Amen.

I hope and pray, that Danna's short devotion, was in some way, a blessing to you
