God’s people were to be dispersed and be fruitful in His name, but instead they wanted to make a name for themselves. It is easy for all of us to attempt to uphold an ideal situation like one language, same words, and build a huge tower. Yet, what gets lost is the LORD! If we stay in the ideals of life, we can easily forget God and His glory. The Lord’s dispersion of God’s people to curtail pride and evil is a sign of love to assure that He would stay with Him. We celebrate Pentecost knowing what was dispersed has now been united in Christ by the Holy Spirit. “Lord Jesus, as we are united together by Your blood through the Holy Spirit, keep us humble, steadfast in faith, that Your name be known around the world. O Holy Spirit, enter in. Amen”
