Tower of Babel and Abram
Hees. Was reading 11 to 12 this morning...Hmm....Something hit upon me. I used to think that God did not want the humans to acheive building the tower of Babel .Therefore he confused their Language. I used to think that it is because the humans are going to become arrogant by trying to make a mark for themselves and also by going against's God's command of spreading and multiplying over the earth that God went to confused their language.
I was given a new insight today. From my beloved God of Course! Hahaz. Guess What . He confused their Language out of love. Hees. Can link? Ok..The Human are making bricks...and...using tar as Cement. They attempted to build a tower that reaches to the heavens(sky). So picture it . Guess what will happen? With science, we know that Heaven ain't up there. So these poor little things will continue to build and build. A wasted effort. Not only that . They are using Tar instead of Cement.Now imagine a huge tower collapsing. SO God in attempt to prevent such foolish effort , accomplished His commandmant and prevent further foolishness; confused their language.
We are given alot. In Verse 6 it says that because the humans are speaking a single language , nothing is impossible for them. I see it in this way . Cool! nothing is impossible. Like giving a child a gun.Like the above example, if God had not intervene. Yes ! they will succeed. They will build higher and higher in attempt to reach a heaven that is not there. Since we are too gifted for our own good, God remove that gift from us.
Sounds bad right? Well ...if a child is given a whole house...and that child is not capable of maintaining a house, would you not have someone to go and take over the house? And only return the house to the child after the child has grown capable enough to take care of the house?
Like what Uncle Kid says. He was given alot but since he was not a responsible steward, it was taken from him.A similar story can be found in the parable or the talents . God out of love do take away thing from us if it ain't going to benefit us. He will give you more if you can handle more. In Psalms the Psalmist said Do not make me too rich or I make Forget you (God) and says who is the Lord? So God plays an active part in our lives. Watching over us. Testing and Evaluating us. He sees how capable are you and give/train you accordingly. That's how close God is.
Genesis 12:2-3
2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
We are Blessed to bless!!!That's a clue on how to be a good stward of your gifts.
Awwww...Stomach ache le...Shall stop now....Gen 12:10-20 is a good example whereby Man depended on his wisdom other than God's guildance. HAHAz. Ouch..cannot type le...
