“Come,
let us build ourselves a city and a tower.” Genesis 11:4
One thing mankind can say about
ourselves; we are persistent. The motto “if at first you don’t succeed, try,
try again” pretty aptly describes our behavior. Sometimes it is positive and
sometimes it just leads to more trouble. Anyone who has raised boys can attest
to the troubled ending of faulty pursuits. After the flood, when the
destruction of the world was fresh in the minds of all mankind, they decided to
be persistent in disobeying God.
He told them to separate and move
over all the earth. They decided to stay put and become great. The old “we want
to be gods” attitude begun in the Garden was still persisting after God’s clear
demonstration of His wrath toward sin. But not only is man persistent, so is
God. He broke up their plan and fulfilled His own. God wants to break down our
persistent pursuit of sin and replace it in us with His persistent pursuit of
righteousness. We will find it is easier to work with Him than against Him.
Dear Father, Help me to persistently
seek Your will for my life. Amen.
