My Plan

The new year is really off and running. Anyone already break a new year's resolution?

Reading today in Gen 10&11, the people started to built great cities. In one, Babel, they were building a tower to the sky. God saw that this would cause them to be arrogant, prideful, and worshipping what they had done, rather than worhsipping God. Remember, this was after God flooded the earth and started over.

God will do things for our own good, even if we don't realize or understand. By confusing their language, He attempted to have mankind rely on Him, rather than their own accomplishments.

Even today, we struggle with this. How many of us just reviewed this past year and thought about all WE had accomplished? What about our goals in the new year? Want to make God laugh, tell Him what you are going to do tomorrow.

We must rely on God to help us do what we cannot. Or we can continue to struggle with mild success at times, but failure in the end.
