The Devil's Carrots
(Image courtesy of pintrest.com.) “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth” (Genesis 1:28). “It is not good that the man should be alone ; I will make him a helper fit for him” (Genesis 2:18). When God created man, he created him under the umbrella of two broad categories: dominion and companionship. Most of a man’s responsibilities fall under these two categories and, many times, they overlap. For instance, a man’s work falls under both categories: he has domain over a certain set of tasks to accomplish and at the same time is able to provide for the needs of his companions through accomplishing those tasks.
