Intentionally Act
- Reread Genesis 11:1-32. Consider your perspective of living in this country and your view of people from around the world. List two countries from each of three different continents and consider your thoughts about people in and from those countries. Does your perspective reflect what occurred in this passage? How could this passage better inform or even change your perspective of the world?
- What does this passage imply about pride in nationalism or humanism? Have you been or are you now guilty of these? How could this passage redirect your thinking?
- Consider again your role in the Great Commission, as recorded in Matthew 28:19-20. How has or how could this passage motivate you to action in spreading the gospel? Make specific plans to take action in that regard.
- See God's sovereignty in his plan of redemption through the sins and evil hearts of men. What do you fear in today's age? Our country leadership? Other foreign powers? The trials of the day that seem to be unfair and burdensome? How does God control every event of every human heart in sin to bring about his glorious purpose?
