God: "...nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down & confuse their language so they will not understand each other."Gen. 11:6-7

Confusion
The Tower of Babel is a brief little story – nine verses at the beginning of Genesis chapter 11.

You might know the outline of it: Humanity decides to build a tower to heaven so they can reach God. Unfortunately for their plan, the tower does attract God’s attention. And before you can say “communication problem,” God has confused their languages to the point the builders can’t understand each other at all.

The Tower of Babel is an example of God saving us from ourselves. We’ll never build our way to God – whether we try to build with bricks or good deeds. We meet God only on God’s terms.

Then and now, the way to please God is to trust Him – to meet Him by faith.

Today is a great day to meet God on His terms. Today is a great day to trust Jesus.
