God says, “populate the world”

God says, “My glory shall be filled the entire world”

God says, “women, be submissive to your husband”

God says, “men, be prophet, priest, and king”

God says, “carry out the Great Commission”

We are told and we should obey

We are commanded and we should comply

God is the potter

And we are His vessels

We can be useful

If we heed His voice

If we follow Him fully

Like Caleb

Like Joshua

For without faith

It is impossible to please God

With perseverance

We might enter into the promised land

To inherit our inheritance 

With long suffering

We are like God
