In several ways, God has shown care for humans. As soon as the world was ready, He created our first parents. The sun, moon, and stars provided them with light, the plants provided them with food, and the climate was ideal for sustaining life. Adam and Eve were fortunate to live in paradise. Besides providing a suitable environment for humans, God also showed His love and care by sending His Son as our Redeemer. In God's image and likeness, man was created. God formed man from the dust of the earth, and the Spirit of God breathed life into man's lifeless body of clay. God gave dominion over the works of His hand to man, not animals, angels, or any other created being. After man had been fashioned and formed by his Creator, God declared that everything He made was good. It is anticipated that the Lord Jesus Christ will soon return to take up His God-ordained dominion over the works of God, which were forfeited by the first man but which will be fully restored by the Second Man.
Dear Heavenly Father, there is no name more excellent than Yours in all the earth. Thank You for being mindful of me, mindful of man. I am amazed that You love the race of fallen man so much that Your Son became a man and lived a perfect life so that I could be saved from my sins by faith in Him. During Christ's return from heaven to rule and reign, we will see man's appointed position restored fully and finally by grace through faith in Christ. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
