Dominion, Subservience, and Free Spirits
There seems to be three types of people in this world.
- Humans who want to control humans,
- Humans want to be controlled by humans.
- The free spirits! The obnoxious ones who dare ask questions.
But what was God’s design? Whom or what did God give mankind dominion over? Not other people, but HIS CREATION which he made for us. (And it seems we haven’t done a great job of that.)
“God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them. God said to them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'” (Genesis 1:27-28)
Jesus said: “The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Lesson from Cows and Kangaroos. Observe how the cows and horses are content to stay within the fences, but the kangaroo will jump over all boundaries.
