Genesis 11:1-9
Today's Scripture

Sin had definitely not left the world after the flood. Perhaps the biggest sin we struggle with, pride, was alive and well. There was one language in all the earth and many people settled in one area to build a tower to honor themselves--to stretch to heaven.

But God knew the hearts of the people, and he came down and confused their language and scattered them over the face of the earth.

We should always be cautious of thinking too much of ourselves. All that we have comes from the Creator--our very minds, the world around us--the people we live with and love--all are gifts from God.

Perhaps we go through times of confusion and trial so we will not think so much of ourselves. We can not explain everything that happens in life. Only God sees the big picture--and it is during these times of confusion that we often turn to him because we are at the end of ourselves.

Let's look to God in praise and humility, no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in.
