Human Arrogance And 

Confusion of Language 19

[Gen 11:1-26]

/ Anne's Faith Column 

 

 

 

/ By Pastot Priscilla

 

 

 

'In the beginning,

the whole world had

one language and a

common speech.'

 

 

 

However,

when his creatures,

humans dared to despise

the Creator God

 

 

 

and tried to make a

name for themselves,

God, who was angry with it,

saw their actions 

 

 

 

and confused their language

and scattered them

all over the earth.

 

 

 

This human spiritual

arrogance, rather, resulted

in a confusion of language

 

 

 

and it caused his creatures,

humans to be scattered

over all the earth.

 

 

 

Even at this moment,

God sees what we

humans are doing.

 

 

 

How infuriated he

must be because he

feels that our behaviors

are so abominable!

 

 

 

How many times have

we acted humanistically

to reveal ourselves

 

 

 

even though we made

our mind not to be arrogant!

 

 

 

We who have sinful nature

pretend to act holy

for the self- justification,

 

 

 

try to conceal our shame,

and don't admit our

transgressions

 

 

 

and mistakes willingly

when the hidden

problems are revealed.

 

 

 

Also, most of our decisions

are made by ourselves

without asking before God.

 

 

 

Even though we praise

the Lord with our lips, we

repeate contradictory

actions. 

 

 

 

We find ourselves

moving according to

our emotions withou

t keeping order. 

 

 

 

Sometimes we feel

uncomfortable when we

think that our actions

violate the rights of others,

 

 

 

but we are too weak

to manage self-pity,

unspeakable skepticism,

 sighs, and intense feelings.

 

 

 

Therefore,

we have a tendency

to hide ourselves.

 

 

 

So how can we quickly

get out of these lives

and restore our

relationship with God?

 

 

 

1) We must show

our love to God

so that we can restore

 our relationship with God.

 

 

 

2) We must obey

and fear God more.

 

 

 

3) We need training

to control our

  own emotions. 

 

 

 

Therefore,

we must come under

the cross and humbly

lay down our feelings

and will before God.

 

 

 

4) We must honestly

declare our own mistakes

and weaknesses

before God,

 

 

rely more on the Lord,

and live by faith.

 

 

 

Prayer

 

 

 

Lord!

We're full of thirst

for yearning and

compassion

for the Lord. 

 

 

 

Please restore us back

to the place of our

first love with you

quickly! Amen.

 

 

Anne's Review

 

How can we living 

in modern times

 

 

interpret and accept

human arrogance

appeared in the Bible

 

 

and the confusion of

language caused by it?

 

 

 

Also, how can humans

recover from the relationship

that has been cut off with God?

 

 

 

Since it becomes

the central topic of

the faith column that

we should seriously

think about today,

 

 

 

I'm writing this article

with the desire to seek

reconciliation with the

Lord first, while deeply

anguish

 

 

 

and meditating, hoping

to get the answer.
