Man Can Plan, but God Has Final Say

Long ago, some people attempted to make a name for themselves by building a city with a tower that would stand majestic toward the heavens. However, they didn’t realize that the tower would never be completed because God was intending to stop it by scattering them across the face of the earth (Genesis 11:7).

So, these people went on with the construction process until the Lord sent confusion in the form of different languages upon them, and they couldn’t understand each other, thereby causing the construction to cease (Gen. 11:8-9).

This story leaves us with several things to think about.

1. Man had been told to take over all areas of earth, and they should have been busy doing God’s will (Gen. 1:28; Gen. 9:1).
2. Men can plan, but it is God who has the final say (Proverbs 16:2; Luke 12:16-21).
3. Without communication, one cannot be successful (Amos 3:3; Psalm 133:1).
