Just a couple of words can make all the difference in how you view things.
And so it is with the words 'let them.'
You see...
After the Bible says 'Let Us' make man in our image, it goes on to say 'let them' rule over the earth (Gen.1:26).
With this pronouncement, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit made it plain that while the triune God rules over all, we have been given the authority and responsibility to tend to the things on earth.
And this truth should shape how we view our lives in several important ways...
For one, our spirituality is not just something to experience in our heads or hearts... we're to bring it to bear on the world God has made... wherever He may have us.
Two, the invisible, spiritual world is not superior to the physical world... God made the physical world and says it's good... and calls us to cultivate it for Him.
And three, this world is not something we should be seeking to escape... we're to occupy it as we use our gifts for Him... as long as we're here and until He comes.
You can be sure of all of this because of the couple of easily overlooked words 'let them.'
