// Read: Genesis 11:1-5 //
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 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.
MEDITATION:
Just as we said yesterday, this people decided to settle at a place that was plain without divine guidance. The next thing they did was to make bricks, they said “let us make bricks”. Don’t make anything this year that will go against the ‘Will of God’. There are many “Bricks layers” and “Brick Makers” in this generation making bricks against divine purpose, bricks of disobedience and bricks of showmanship. The instruction of God to man from the beginning is to spread and replenish the earth but they wanted to stay together and make bricks to build towers. What do you want to build this year? Are you building for God or against God? Check your mind, which project are you focusing on? Don’t build Babel this year, ask for divine direction in all things.
PRAYER: Pray about this.
