God Show

This world is not about us.

Yeah, this can come as a shock for many of us. So much of what we do, what we listen to, what we seed into- we do for self-centered reasoning. We seek to feed our lust for self-gratification like a dog in heat. We build grotesque monuments to ourselves that would rival the Tower of Babel.

What was the purpose of Babel? The people unified themselves to build a monument that would reach the heavens. Why? Where their motives to reach a closer level of intimacy with God, a nearness that couldn't be obtained any other way?

Not hardly.

They weren't seeking a closeness to God. They wanted to rival God. They'd bought into the lie of the Garden, the original sin that promised equality with God...and maybe even to surpass Him. With unified vision and purpose, mankind set out to construct themselves into superiority.

Consider what advancements could have been made if mankind, utilizing that same unification, set out to fulfill the command God had given them, to cover the Earth with the knowledge of Jehovah God.

Instead, God had to come down and scatter them across the world.

Look at us today? Are we all that different? Men build for themselves monuments to showcase their glory, though not always physical. We've elevated ourselves to where we think we are something far greater than what we really are:

We are small.
We are minuscule.
We are one against the backdrop of 6.2 Billion people across the world- 99.999999999% have never and will never know who you are.
We are not.

But GOD is.

Everything we aren't, God is.

And everything that He is, He wants to share with us. Not so that we can become self-righteous and to build up our already overly-inflated egos, but so that we can remain humble in the sight of an all encompassing, all enveloping God.

So let's face the facts: This life is not about us.

Everything is about God. It's His show.
