Thought for Tuesday 5th July
Genesis 11:4
“ 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.’”
The Tower of Babel reflects a kind of false religion, or even life without God. Being “scattered over the face of the whole earth” was actually God’s plan: “Go forth and multiply over the whole earth.” But at their core, these people were proud of what they themselves achieved without God.
Reflection: “Much of what humans do on this earth is a monument to their insecurity.” (Bob Deffinbaugh)
