Children, as they begin to mature, always seem to wait to be more and more independent as they grow. This can be frustrating at times for us, as adults and parents, but it is a natural maturity process that is good for them. We might hear those famous words – “I do, I do” over and over and we know that normally that means a mess is coming that I am going to have to clean up, but we also know it is good for them.
As children grow even older and mature even more there comes a time where they want to be completely independent. They want to make their own decisions, blaze their own trail, and certainly not be told what they should do. This is a natural response, as well, for humans. We want to be in control of our surroundings and we want to dictate and make the decisions that are going to impact our lives.
This want for control is also a natural thing, in fact, I would argue that God made us to be in control. Right after God created Adam he told Adam to name all the animals and to have dominion over them. God created us to be in control, but there is a caveat to that control. God wants us to be in control with Him, not on our own. God designed us to rule, or reign, with Him as co-regents.
God is always sovereign and he is the one that is ultimately in control, but one of the mysteries of God is that he looked down on humans, even in their fallen sinful state, and said – I choose you to reign with me – I choose you to have control – I choose you to be ruler over some things. Rule with God.
