Genesis 11 Thoughts

 


Genesis 11:4-5 (The Message)  Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower that reaches Heaven. Let’s make ourselves famous so we won’t be scattered here and there across the Earth.” God came down to look over the city and the tower those people had built. And He was upset. Upon further reading on why God Almighty was upset concerning this-
1. He was upset because they were building it to be famous. Complete arrogance. Opposite of what the Lord asks from us. 
2. God had asked them to scatter across the Earth and multiply- and they were dead set on being disobedient and building this tower to Heaven.

God help us if we ever allow our arrogance and disobedience to keep us from the steps You have ordained for us.

For someone that battles with mental health, panic attacks, and anxiety disorder- this scripture meant so much.  I know He is my shield, I know I shouldn't fear- it's hard to tell my brain this at times, but I am so thankful He is someone I can call on when I just feel broken.. someone I can call on and scream for when I'm sad and heartbroken.  In verse 6, it goes on to say that Abram believed God. We just have to take a step of faith and believe- He is our shield!

Genesis 14 Thoughts

  ' Genesis 14 states,   " Blessed be Abram by The High God, C reator of Heaven and Earth.  And blessed be The High God   who handed your enemies over to you." This was a powerful message. He hands our enemies over to us. Do you know what that means? When someone wants to harm us- HE STEPS IN. When someone means evil for us- HE STEPS IN. When someone is against us- HE STEPS IN.   He will step in and hand them over to us! Just stay on the right path- the peaceful path- the uplifting path.
