God created the earth; HE told us to fill the earth and Subdue it

What an amazing God we have. His word is living and active. I am in complete awe of the every aspect of it and how it controls everything in the Universe.

Genesis 1:28 has been in my mind over the past few weeks. I kept thinking about how it says "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it." God has created the earth for us to subdue it. To learn about it, to figure out how we can be a part of it and learn about God through it. So many times this world "Earth" subdues us with its wordly pleasures. But we are supposed to subdue it by God's power. We are not subject to the earth when we have the power of God, the earth is subject to Him and he has created us to subdue it.
