Today is Tuesday, October 2, 2018, and here is your daily diva. The story of the Tower of Babel is like looking into a mirror. The pride we see is all too familiar. Pride shows itself at work in our lives in many forms and fashions.
C.S. Lewis said Envy is the telltale sign of walking in pride. Pride is, he says, in its very nature, competitive. For pride, it doesn't matter that I'm smart.
I just have to be smarter than you. Pride doesn't care if I'm moral. I just have to be more moral than you. This is why proud people always get annoyed when they meet other proud people.
Their pride is threatening yours. Sin will cause us to drift toward the model by my will, in my strength for my glory. That might sound like bad news. But we can't apply the remedy until we admit we're plagued by the disease.
Think about this. What are some similarities between the people of Genesis chapter 11 and the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3? Where in your life are you most tempted to live according to the model by my will in my strength for my glory? Thanks for listening to the Daily Diva.
