Day 9
When Humans Attempt to Supplant Yahweh

Historically, humans have had a difficult time coming to grips with the reality that we are not God… yet… Yahweh is always prepared to remind us that we are not God.

There are certain things that only Yahweh can do, and one of those things is to control the destiny of the human race.

Consider the boasting of our race in the day that we decided that we would not be divided…

Genesis 11:4-5 “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 Then the LORD came down to look over the city and the tower that the • men were building.
(Holman Christian Standard Bible)

Yahweh straightway confused their language… scattered them over the face of the earth… and demonstrated that human efforts at solidarity apart from and in the place of Yahweh are… nonsense.

It is a difficult lesson to learn.
