Are You Babelling?
/by Chad BalthropScipture
Genesis 11:6″And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.”
Observation:
What an amazing thought! – That God himself would say that if we can communicate clearly and work together twoard the same goal that nothing we porpose to do will be withheld from us! So what was wrong with building a tower?1. It was for the glory of man.2. It ignored the glory of God.3. It denied their dependence on God.
Application:
First I need to be thoughtful and well informed when I communicate with those I lead and with those I serve with. *There is incredible power that comes from being all together.Second, As I set goals, communicate dreams, and build ideas I must make certain they are:1. God centered.2. God dependant.
No matter how good you intentions;
No matter how articulate your reason;
If God is not the author and finisher of the work you’re just babelling!
Prayer
Father, speak through me. Set my agenda, help me communicate well and let all I do bring glory and pleasure to you!
I love you, Father – CHAD
