Message Minute (Created for Purpose)
Have you ever wondered why you exist? The opening pages of Scripture reveal a profound truth: we were created to be image-bearers of the King, designed to help rule and reign in God's Kingdom. Unlike earthly rulers who often abuse their power, our God is a good King who uses His authority to bless His people. He created a world full of delights and placed us in it with an invitation to enjoy! Think about that - taste buds were God's idea. Pleasure was God's idea. He is for our joy! When God placed Adam and Eve in Eden, He didn't give them a vacation - He gave them a purpose. They were called to care for the garden and expand its borders to the ends of the earth. Eden represented an unfinished project, a starting point from which God's order and harmony would spread throughout the wild and untamed world. This mandate continues today. We are sub-rulers on God's behalf, sons and daughters of the King, called to care for and cultivate His creation as stewards who have been entrusted with something precious to God. Every aspect of our lives - our work, relationships, creativity, and care for creation - can reflect His glory and advance His kingdom.
Verse: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." - Genesis 1:27
Reflection Question: How does viewing yourself as a royal image-bearer, tasked with expanding God's Kingdom, change how you approach your daily responsibilities?
Prayer: Father, thank You for creating me with purpose and dignity as Your image-bearer. Help me see my life as part of Your Kingdom project. Give me wisdom to steward well all You've entrusted to me, and joy in serving You as my good King. Amen.
