Genesis 11:6 The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing is impossible for them.
The population of the earth grew and families began to spread across the earth. The people devised a plan to keep together, but their heart's were evil, so God took action. He created division among them by introducing different languages. Instead of working through this problem, they divided into people groups separated from each other. They could not overcome the evil in their hearts to join together and they were scattered across the face of the earth.
Man can accomplish great things. Together, the sky is the limit. Nothing will be to great for us to solve or create. Through unity of mind and heart, we will overcome. But, there is great division among us, and we are hampered in our efforts. What is it that causes division? That's a silly question, it's our differences. In the areas in which we disagree, conflict arises. "But, isn't there more?" you may ask. Yes. Sin stirs up the pot. It takes differences to the next level and creates further disunity. Selfishness, fear, and hatred keep people and groups apart. They refuse to work things out.
A and K, do you have someone you can't get along with? Are there tasks that seem impossible to manage? Are you in over your head? Begin to solve them by checking your life for areas of sin. Then, rid yourself of footholds, areas which Satan can use to tempt you and distract you from the solutions. Then, patch over issues where there is division (Matt 5:24) and begin to work together, for there is nothing to great for you to handle when walk with God (Matt 19:26)!
