For everything was created by him,
in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities 
all things have been created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:15-16 CSB
What was the "dominion" first put in place?
Adam and Eve's dominion over creation. They (& we) were given the earth to cultivate and create with and in.
What weren't we given dominion over?
One another.
There's the kingdom of which I am on the throne, which is fuelled by what I want, a kingdom of shadows and darkness, and there's the Kingdom where Jesus is on the throne, it's fuelled by Grace, it's message is Love, it's the Kingdom of Light.
It may not look like Jesus is over all, it may not feel like it. Fear, sadness, selfishness & death still have their say in this world.
When Jesus went to the cross it seemed that death had won. 
But it did not.
Light will extinguish the dark.
Love will win.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
