This is devotional thought number 49 in our devotional series, “Stewarding the Heart.”
“And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:4).
Not long after the worldwide flood that covered the earth to purify it from sin, many of the ultra-intelligent inhabitants of earth, to represent their pride, united to build a tower that would reach heaven. Perhaps they thought there was safety in numbers since they said that they were building in order to avoid being scattered over all the earth. I imagine that they sought refuge from the fury of another flood, although God had promised with the rainbow, that He would not destroy the earth with water again. Certainly, they wanted to proudly demonstrate their greatness. If God had not intervened, nothing would have hindered their plans, since they were intelligent, and had one common language.
The Lord saw the tower builders’ pride and thwarted their plans by confusing their language. The very thing they wanted to avoid by building the tower would occur anyway because of their pride. God ultimately scattered them all around the then known world and destroyed their tower.
Oftentimes we build for ourselves, towers of pride, hoping to make ourselves great. Sometimes we earn degrees, buy large homes, and develop associations with influential people so that we can be noticed and complimented. As in the days of the confusion of Babel, God is willing to demonstrate His jealousy over His people. He would not hesitate to remove anything that competed for His place in our lives. Isn’t it better to simply surrender those things that threaten to take God’s place? God is willing to reveal what they are to us and give us the ability to live victoriously. “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:11-14).
