Babel

So the story of the Tower of Babel is one that always confused me! Why would God want to confuse the people? Well...thanks to life I now understand it. Funny how the things that I really didn't understand in life become high lighted when I finally understand them...it is like God is making a point! My way not yours! So in their own will the people raised up a tower in an effort to reach the heavens so they could get closer to God. So wouldn't God be happy that the people were trying to get closer to him?
The scripture says that God had to come down from the heavens in order to see what they had done. This story is talking about how small we really are. Small thoughts, small things...God's way is bigger and our works do not even come close to what he is able to do for us.
that is why our works can not save us.
Have you ever been confused and can't even figure out why? Why can't some people get along with other people? Why can't 2 people understand each other? It is because of the communication problem.. we are not speaking the same language with each other. We do so many things is our own strength; but if it is not God's will...there is nothing you can do.
As we work though life's challenges -we learn that we need God -he does these things to draw us closer to him. Acts 17:27
