The Tower of Babel
đź“– Bible Verse
“If only you would listen to His voice today!” — Psalms 95:7
🕊️ Story / Reflection
Long ago, people on the earth all spoke the same language.
One day, they decided to build a very tall tower that would reach high into the sky.
But the problem was not the tower itself — the people were not listening to God.
They wanted to make themselves great instead of obeying Him.
God had told people to spread out across the earth, but they chose to do things their own way.
So God confused their languages, and suddenly they could no longer understand each other. The people had to stop building the tower and spread out to different places.
This story teaches us something important:
When we ignore God’s voice and only follow our own ideas, things can become confusing.
God wants us to listen to Him because His way is always best.
đź’ˇ Lesson
Listening to God helps guide me in the right direction.
🙏 Prayer
Dear God,
Help me to listen to Your voice and obey You.
Teach me not to only follow my own way.
Guide me to do what is right.
Amen.
