What mom learned in Bible Study today
Genesis 11:1
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
Then Noah's decendents decided to disobey God and settle after they'd moved eastward from the ark's landing.
Genesis 11:3 and 4
They said to each other, “Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” (oh, how highly we think of ourselves!!)
Genesis 11:5-7
But the Lord came down to see the city…
The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
And this place was called Babel because the Lord confused the language of the whole world there.
And I wondered where the word babbling came from! This is just another indication that EVERYTHING comes from the Lord. He IS the beginning, the middle and the end. He IS I AM.
Resting in HIM,
