Genesis 11:4-8
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
Theme: God is good.
Question to think about: Has there been a time where you wanted to do what you want and someone comes to tell you to do something else? How did that make you feel?
Scripture: Genesis 11:4-8
Questions to ponder:
1) What do you think Genesis 11:4 “we may make a name for ourselves” means?
2) Why do you think God wanted to “confuse their language”?
3) What do you think is God’s purpose in this?
Prayer: Ask God to help you to see His goodness even when you cannot see it at the moment.
