Picture

Jesus is the Creator and ruler over God’s creation. In Jesus, all things hold together. He is supreme over everything.

Self-counsel leads us to self-directed actions and pushes God out of the picture. When God is out of the picture, we lose direction and focus.  Our thoughts and emotions are easily distracted by our circumstances. 

The death of Jesus on our behalf brings forgiveness and reconciles us with the Holy God. Amazing, isn’t it? Wherever you are in the Old Testament, God the Father is preparing us for God the Son.

God never backs down. He dealt with the issue by supernaturally confusing their language. Picture the scene. One minute the parents were bragging about their super-gifted children, and the next minute it all sounded like babbling. Then God gave the rebellious innovators exactly what they didn’t want. He “scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”
