S T O P “God is in this place—truly. . . . Incredible. Wonderful. Holy. This is God’s House.
This is the Gate of Heaven.” (Genesis 28:16-17)
R E A D Read Genesis 11:1-9 twice slowly. Then read verses 6-9 aloud.
P O N D E R Picture yourself as part of this large group of people. What rationale can you offer
for their plan to build a tower that reaches heaven?
Why would God be concerned with such a plan? What do you think God wants for
these people?
P R A Y Reflect back on some times when your plans and God’s plans have seemed to be
at odds with each other. Ask God to help you understand his desires for you during those times. Ask God to illuminate his desires for you right now, in your current
context.
R E F L E C T When have you felt scattered by God? What came of that experience? What good
outcomes can you identify?
L I V E “Whatever he tells you, do it.” (John 2:5)
