In contrast, it is both reasonable and in accord with common experience that the re-creation of any system requires the skill, plan and work of the original creator or another with equal or greater competence. God has clearly accepted the responsibility for both maintenance and restoration of His creation. I like to observe that God relates to His creation in three primary roles, that of Creator, Provider and Redeemer. We who are made in His image by His design might do well to follow His pattern of responsibility for created systems. The principles seem to apply in any position of authority and responsibility in any system.
Responsibility begins with design.
Paul tells us in Ephesians that all fatherhood derives its name, or character from God. God is properly the model for every father and fatherly role in created relationships. Responsibility is expressed through provision. A father is responsible to provide for his family. God does so, and directs us to do likewise.
