Psalm 8:1-9
Let God Be God

Just because we know the names for things, doesn't make us God. Just because God honored us, doesn't mean we were meant to control, exploit, conquer. To rule over means to care for and tend, like a gardener. We win when we remember who the creator is, and who are the created ones. When we stop being god, we have the chance to really experience the beauty of creation and the rich connections between species as God created them to be. When we stop being god, we start to see and hear God, who's been there all along.
