God made us rulers over everything, plants, animals etc. Too many times we forget to be strong and amazed.
Read: Psalms 8:4-8
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen,
And also the beasts of the field,
8
The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
