A good lesson

August 27

I sit in a park and read my Bible. A woman with two girls in the play area says, “Tell me in what book do you find the Tower of Babel? Oh I can look it up later.” I leave surprised by her question. I find it in Genesis. Men decide to build a tower to become famous. In case I don’t get it, the commentary says, "We should glorify God, not build towers (riches) to get our self worth, which become more important than God." (NIV)

“Its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:9)
