To equip us for the Dominion Mandate, God created
us with the urge to rule over things.
This is a good thing...
Because it gives us the drive to cultivate the earth as He's commanded.
But...
When we're not faithfully pursuing the work He calls us to, the urge to rule doesn't go away.
And it gets misdirected in destructive ways...
Like, trying to rule the lives of others...
Through such things as... meddling, gossip, heavy-handedness, and angry outbursts... or other forms of petty tyranny.
So... make sure your urge to rule is put
toward its intended use...
By using your gifts to co-create and build up.
