Go be scattered

Hey guys, I had a pretty rough day at school today so I was extremely looking forward to hear what God had to say to me today.

Today's passage is from Genesis 11:1-9

As you may know already, this passage is about the Tower of Babel.

This is another one of those passages I've read many times, especially in my childhood. I'm actually really surprised with what God spoke to me through this passage today though.

I'm going to get straight to the point today.

The verse that made me question the most was verse 6.
"then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them"
Was God a tad bit scared here that man was starting to have power in great numbers?
So did He have to separate them out of fear of them becoming greater than him?
Haha, of course not!

Man was thinking they could be God.
They thought they could reach God's standard.
But God knew, even if they managed to obtain all that power, they couldn't handle it. They would probably become corrupted with all that power.

Power isn't everything~

Only God can handle true power.

So here was a problem, man had decided they could possibly become God.
So as God always does, He had to find a solution to the problem.

He could have done many things.
He could have killed off those particular people.
He could have just destroyed the tower to show who's god.
He could have even wipe out their memories or intentions.
But He didn't.

He did something that had so much more purpose.
He created what we know as different cultures nowadays. He increased the diversity of us humans. He took another step to make us all more unique.
He 'guided' them to explore & inhabit more of this beautiful place He created.

They were completely in the wrong path.
They were sinning against God.
But God used that situation to fulfill an amazing plan of His.

The main point I would like to bring out is this.

"No matter how far we may have fallen, God can still use us to help fulfill His purpose."

Godbless~
