7-28-06 Psalms 8:6-8

Psalms 8:6-8 (KJ21)
Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field, the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

Psalms 8:6-8 (NAS)
Thou dost make him to rule over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

Psalms 8:6-8 (NIVUS)
You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

Psalms 8:6-8 (NLT)
You put us in charge of everything you made, giving us authority over all things-- the sheep and the cattle and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.



Do you see yourself as someone who can rule? Or do you see yourself as a wimp and a weakling? Do you know what the Bible says about you as a child of God?

You were created to have dominion and are meant to rule and govern. You are a royal child of the King of kings and you have the power and authority to reign over what Adonai, the Lord, created with His own hands. God placed all things under your feet and you are able to walk on the works of the enemy. Jehovah has made you able to endure, as you follow after Him.

Although you have dominion, your authority only extends to flocks and beasts, birds and fish, or any other thing that the Lord God made. You have authority over the land and what it produces, but you cannot lord it over your brothers or sisters. They are not under your feet, but are on equal footing with you. However, the devil and his hosts are under your feet and you do have authority over them.

Therefore, like Adam and Eve, you should be fruitful and multiply as you subdue the earth in the name of the Lord.
