Made For Mastery

God made man in His own image to rule over His creation. Not according to his own whim, but following God’s dictation. God’s dominion is based on love, it’s how He rules heaven above. Man was to mimic his maker, not to become a lawbreaker. Sin ruined the nature of man and put him at odds with God’s plan. Man succumbed to the evil force, whose goal is to keep him off course. Since man no longer rules himself, he behaves like an evil elf. To advance, some scheme, scam, and con treating their fellowmen as pawns, God made man to be a caretaker, but man became an exploiter. Instead of caring for nature, mankind became its destroyer. Instead of being God-centered, mankind has become self-centered. Man, who was made for mastery, finds himself trapped in slavery. Enslaved by greed’s grueling gore, to vices sore, man’s made a whore. The intense craving for pleasure tortures his soul beyond measure. The ruin that man’s ruling causes can only in one way find pause. If man yields to his Maker’s rule and ceases behaving like a mule.
