“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
We've talked about this before...but, I love the thinly veiled reference to Jesus and the Holy Spirit here. It doesn't say God made them in his image. It says in "our image." It's somehow comforting to know that the human experience is a blip in the overall plan of the Big Three. They are in control. We are just along for the ride, and need to make the decision to believe and follow.
Why wouldn't you? If you really soak in thought of eternity being backward and forward.....and then think of my own existence within that? Its minute. Its the snap of a finger.

I picked that same verse for the same reason, it just jumped out at me that he said 'our'. Yes, you right they were in control from moment 1. the hold time thing is always a mind bender for me, we really are just a flash in the pan!
