Tower of Babel -Genisis 10

Every talented, gifted, capable, mighty man or woman has a tendency to build something for his own glory, to build a business, career, ministry that's just like Babel. It can look awesome for a while, but then, when the Lord decides to come down and do something about it, there's nothing can stand against that, and the Babel will not last into eternity.

So if we're building something that's by our own strength and effort, there' nothing to be boasted about, even though it might look glorious for the moment. But if we build something by God's power and calling, even though it can look insignificant like just a small child as Isaac, (Abraham didn't look successful at his time), but God will sustain it and it will last into eternity.
