We Were Never Owners

What if I told you that God created us to rule… but not to dominate? To reign… but not to own? What if our job on this earth wasn’t to take, but to tend? Not to consume, but to cultivate? For generations, power has been used to exploit, image has been reserved for the elite and creation has been treated like a commodity. But Genesis doesn’t begin with a human grasping for godhood. It begins with God graciously giving us a role in His rule — in His very good design. We are not owners—we are image bearers. We are royal stewards, called to make the invisible King visible in how we treat His creation.
