5 The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built.
6 And the Lord said, “Look, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
Prayer Focus: What is the problem with the people’s efforts here? It is a human attempt to unify around the wrong name––their own imperial name instead of God’s. It is an attempt to eliminate diversity of place and people by celebrating homogeneity and a single place. The Lord acts to restore the original intention: multiple people, multiple languages, multiple places. Give thanks for the diversity you encounter today, wherever your own place might be.
