Genesis 11:1-9
TOPIC:
PRIDE, MAN’S GREATEST UNDOING
After the flood, in
Genesis 9:1-2, “Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, ‘Be
fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.’”
As the people increased
in population, pride set in and they expressly disobeyed God. They said to each
other ‘Come’ instead of obeying the command of God to ‘Go’ and spread
throughout the earth.
They also said, “Let us
make a name for ourselves,” instead of glorifying the name of God. Their desire
and effort to build a tower whose top reaches heaven was a desire and effort to
prove they were equal to God, or even to overthrow God.
That was pride at work
and it remains the greatest undoing of men today.
QUESTION:
Are you proud, always seeking to promote yourself instead of glorifying God?
PRAYER:
Oh Lord, give me the grace to be humble and not proud in order to always
glorify You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
