Reading: Genesis 1:26-28
Devotional: God created us in His image and gave us authority over creation (things, not people). However, like Adam and Eve, we often surrender this authority through disobedience or lack of faith. Today, reflect on areas where you may have given away the control God intended you to have. Perhaps it's in your thoughts, habits, or relationships. Pray for discernment and strength to reclaim the authority God has given you. Remember, this authority is not for selfish gain, but to glorify God and fulfill His purposes in your life.
Reflection Question: In what specific areas of your life have you surrendered your God-given authority, and how can you reclaim it for His glory?
Prayer: Lord, thank You for creating me in Your image and giving me authority over creation. Show me the areas where I have surrendered this authority through disobedience. Grant me the discernment and strength to reclaim it in a way that glorifies You and fulfills Your purposes. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
