FAITH CAPSULE: Thank God that God alone is the only Creator.

Genesis 11:1-9, Psalm 24

What is it that you do not know about God?

It is written, “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.” (Isaiah 40:28) The one and only Perfect Creator God do have the fullness of the world in His hand. Bible stated, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1) Under heaven and above, no man is in place to outmaneuver God. Imagine a creation attempting to outmaneuver its creator? How can man outmaneuver God? The God that spoke to Jeremiah is the same that created heaven and earth and all its fullness. He spoke to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5) Many, by virtue of the wickedness of their heart are destroying others to build for themselves. It does not matter when and where man is building, when man attempts to build outside of God, it becomes effort to outmaneuver the only Perfect Creator.
Building outside of God can be compared to building of the Tower of Babel. The people at the time of Old Testament of the bible were positioned on a plain land with no hindrance. With no obstruction life became too easy as a result, the people gained focus to build outside of the Perfect Creator. It is written, “And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11::4) When focus is centered away from God, self-centeredness will take charge of the life that is given to man by God. Has the Lord God given you a ground with no hindrance? It is time to maintain focus of God. Those people who built the tower of Babel forgot that the land and its fullness belong to God. The people then wanted investigate God’s workshop (Heaven). Unfortunately for the self-centered ones God does not tolerate selfishness because it operates in opposition to God’s way. Selfishness represents arrogance and pride.
God saw where the people were coming from and He knew where they were going with the kind of project they embarked on. Any man’s building outside of the will of God shall provoke God’s reaction. At the time of Babel, God reacted as stated in Genesis 11:7-8, “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.” Do you still want to continue building outside of God?

Prayer for today: Ask God to take over your days and you moment to serve Him.
