Gen
11:8
So the Lord scattered them
abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth:
Bad Unity Will Be Divided
When
the people of the earth built the tower of Babel, they built it so they
wouldn’t be scattered throughout the earth. They decided to build together in a
way that would make them feel that they were indeed one people that only needed
each other. The Lord saw that the people
were finding their strength, identity and purpose in the relationships they had
with each other. Truly we need the Lord
only to find worth, purpose and identity.
He scattered those who sought to avoid being scattered. When we try to keep relationships at the
point of excluding the Lord, our God might very well scatter us to keep us in a
place where we realize He is who we really need. He knows there is a great danger of exceeding
emptiness when human relationships take precedence over abiding in the
vine. Our God knows what is best for us
and He will do what He must to direct us in the way of true security and love.
