This appears to be the motive held by the people who settled on the plain of Shinar. They began constructing a tower to get up in the world. The Godhead sabotaged their plan by confusing their language and dispersing them.

People today still try to get ahead using their own plans to ascend. God still resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

God GAVE Christ a name that is above every other. He didn’t try to make a name for Himself. He emptied Himself and became a servant.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, Jesus, Your example of humility and servitude is ours to follow. This day, we look to serve others rather than ourselves.

DAILY READING: Gen. 9-11
