I am working my way through the Bible in 2008 starting in Genesis. Today I read about the tower of Babel and the great plans of the people. Here is what they said:
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 and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
"So that we can make a name for ourselves"...this reminded me to check my own life. Do I desire to make a name for myself or do I want to make the name of God famous? Good question, something we all need to ponder seriously. Let's keep our pride in check and serve God humbly in the year ahead. We will be amazed at what he does through humble servants. Seek first God's plan in 2008.
