Read: Psalm 8 ESV – How Majestic Is Your Name – To the – Bible Gateway
“You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet.” Psalm 8:6 ESV
After God created the heavens and the earth He then created you and me with responsibilities. David writes in the 8th psalm that God gave us dominion over His creation, or as David says, ‘over the work of your hands.’ I suppose that would include all the earth. We are to be good stewards over it. God put us in charge as managers to care for His creation in all aspects of it. Christians especially are to possess a spirit of collaborating with God as His co-workers in maintaining His creation and helping others in this world.
During the last century and so far in this century there is much debate about the environment and if we are living up to our mandate in maintaining God’s creation. The question being are we good stewards over the earth? Physical features of the earth are not the only areas of maintaining what God has created. It would encompass anything and everything in the world to make it thrive and make our lives better in the process, from working conditions, medical advancements, education, and efforts to maintain peace.
A major breakthrough over the last few years is the advancement of ‘Artificial Intelligence.’ This has been a game changer for all of us. ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ AI as it is known, has been in the development stages since the 1950’s. It is now here and continues to grow. Like everything else that God has put into our charge, may we be good stewards on how we use AI on a personal level. Those of us who are employed in the development of AI for use in the business, education, and manufacturing world may we as Christians work as God’s co-workers in that which He has given us for our benefit.
