THE PEOPLE ARE UNITED

At one time all the people of the world spoke the same lanuguage and used the same words. As the people migrated to the east they found a plain in the land of Babalonia and settled there. They began saying to each other, "Let's make bricks and harden them with fire", ---in this region brick was used instead of stone and tar was used for mortar----Then they said, "Let's build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world. But the Lord came to look at the city and the tower the people were building.
Look He said, "The people are united and they speak all the same language. After this nothing they do will be impossible for them! Genisis 11:1-6

This was a crazy time in the world, sound familier? What was so crazy, all the people were united. They were so united God said nothing they decided to do would be impossible. Wow what a thought! What an encouragement to the people of God.

What could we accomplish if we decided to unite knowing He is on our side!

That is indeed our goal! Let me encourage us to think big like the people of old. They felt nothing could stop  them because they united and God agreed!

Nothing can stop us if we unite for the Kingdom of God!

If you keep reading you find God did stop them because they had self interest.

God desires a people that are interested in His Kingdom and they can do anything if 
"all the people are united."
