We have discussed at the last Bible study:
God's view of Singleness: Your Uniqueness
· Singleness means unique
· God made you special
· without peer
· whole
· complete
God doesn't have a problem with singleness
· He does has a problem with you being alone
· does not mean you need a spouse-can be lonely and have a spouse
· Make friends-show yourself friendly
That we are made in God's image
*Personality*
*Truth*
*Wisdom*
*Creativity*
*Freedom of choice and will*
*Love*
*Holiness*
*The capacity to be aware of one's own existence*
*The ability for spiritual fellowship with Him*
*And we will continue with our series topic God's view of Singleness: your Value*
*Because we are in God's image (attributes) and because He made us*
· *given us the best (Eden-well watered place)*
· *given us dominion over His handiwork and creation-rule over*
· *Dwell with us (His presence in the garden)*
* And we have value*
· *Pagan idea of human value*
* Dignity of humankind.*
The status of the human race in Israelite thinking was very high when contrasted with the status people were given in Mesopotamian thinking (as seen in the Babylonian epic of creation).
In the Mesopotamian view the gods had no plan to create people as an integral part of the world that they had set up for themselves.
People were only brought into existence as a consequence of the gods becoming tired of working so hard to provide for themselves.
Humans were made to be servants to deities, who had no interest in hard labor.
In this way of thinking human dignity was achieved through the idea that the gods needed them.
Here, instead, people rule over all other creatures.[1]

1 God, brilliant Lord, yours is a household name.
2 Nursing infants gurgle choruses about you;
toddlers shout the songs
That drown out enemy talk,
and silence atheist babble.
3 I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous,
your handmade sky-jewelry,
Moon and stars mounted in their settings.
4 Then I look at my micro-self and wonder,
Why do you bother with us?
Why take a second look our way?
5 Yet we’ve so narrowly missed being gods,
bright with Eden’s dawn light.
6 You put us in charge of your handcrafted world,
repeated to us your Genesis-charge,
7 Made us lords of sheep and cattle,
even animals out in the wild,
8 Birds flying and fish swimming,
whales singing in the ocean deeps.
9 God, brilliant Lord,
your name echoes around the world.
