My Tower of Pride
Genesis 11:1-9
"Nothing they presume to do will be out of their reach."
I literally had my life planned out: Where I would be, what I will be doing, and who I'm gonna be with-- one year at a time. I'm used to achieving goals that way.
I'm good at calling the shots, and I always have a timeline: finish a Master's degree; teach in a university; get more scholarships; study and work overseas; be rich.
I had it all lined up and believed I could do them. But God had other plans, and that's where I got confused.
The fascinating part? I survived the "fall."
The best part?I am rediscovering who I am, digging deeper into my soul's destiny and being more open to God's work in my life. I realized that I wouldn't have all these dreams if not through God's grace.
I had my own tower--pride. It wasn't God's plan that confused me, but my own pride. Humility is the only way to survive.
What is your tower made of: God or self?
Discovering who we are in Christ is the greatest journey there is. The highest form of identity is found in Him.
The best is yet to come for you!
