MAKING A NAME
READ
Genesis 11:1–9; Isaiah 55:1–9
Babel wanted a city and a name. Read their words and compare their plans with God's response.
1
Listen to stated purpose; use what they say rather than guessing motives.
2
Trace movement: God told humanity to fill the earth; what were they afraid would happen, and how does the ending answer that fear?
3
Compare human and divine ways in Isaiah 55; where does the passage call people to turn?
CARRY IT WITH YOU
Impressive work can still serve our own name rather than God's purposes.
Are you more concerned with making your name known or walking in God's ways?
