However, sadly, many individuals make the mistake of thinking they are the star and believe it's all about them. This same mentality and mindset is found in Genesus 11. Here we find some people who wanted to build something BIG. The Bible says that they wanted to build a tower that reached to heaven. The text even says that because of their great communication (same speech), great collaboration (working together), and great creativity (using available resources) that they would have pulled it off had God himself not intervened. You may ask, why did God intervene? Well vs. 4 says that they were only interested in "making a name" for themselves. They were not allowed to build something BIG because it wasn't for God's glory. As you continue to construct whatever God has called you to do, ask yourself, "Is this for my fame or His name?" Make sure you do it BIG!
Peace!
