Today's Scripture *February 11, 2010*
1 Chronicles 1: 19
Eber had two sons. The first was named Peleg (which means “division”), for during his lifetime the people of the world were divided into different language groups. His brother’s name was Joktan.
At one time, everyone spoke a single language. But some people became proud of their accomplishments and gathered to build a monument to themselves--the tower of Babel. The building project was brought to an abrupt concussion when God caused the people to speak different languages! Without the ability to communicate with one another, the people could not be unified. God showed them that their great efforts were useless without Him. Pride in our achievements must not lead us to conclude that we no longer need God.
The story of the tower of Babel is told in Genesis 11: 1-9 At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words. As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there. They began saying to each other, “Let’s make bricks and harden them with fire.” (In this region bricks were used instead of stone, and tar was used for mortar.) Then they said, “Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.”
But the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building. “Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won't be able to understand each other.” In that way, the Lord scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city. That is why the city was called Babel, because that is where the Lord confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.
Father we thank You for Your desire to know each of us individually.
Help us to remain focused on You in all our accomplishments.
It is You that gives us the means to do all things! It is by Your hand that all has been created.
May we never cease to see that we need You above all else! In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless!
