The imagination of sinners is always vain and against God. Although, the Lord wanted them to multiply and fill the whole earth, the men of Babel imagined building a city and a tower that will reach unto heaven. By their rebellious imagination, they wanted to dwell together in Babel and not be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Because they were self-willed, their deeds were evil, unacceptable and against the perfect will of God.

The eye is the window of the soul. What you set your eyes upon controls your thoughts and will eventually determine your action. David set his eyes upon the naked body of Uriah's wife and his thoughts were affected, leading to the sins of immorality and murder. Be careful of what you set your eyes upon to avoid defilement.

The Lord was watching to see how the children of Israel would react to the temptations that befell them during their wilderness journey. He wanted to know if they truly loved Him. Almost all of them yielded to the temptations and therefore were not approved by the Lord to enter the promised land. Those that were disapproved, all died in the wilderness.

The Scripture declares that it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, you call God a liar whenever you think or say that it is not possible for a man to be perfect. As Abram was commanded by the Almighty God to be perfect so also has the Lord commanded all his children in every generation to be perfect. The standard of the Lord has never been and will never be altered or lowered for any man.

Beloved, are you in any trouble and worried about how things will turn out? Worry no more because you shall come out of that trouble, in the name of Jesus. And when you come out, it will be as though you were never in such trouble. Do you remember the three Hebrew children, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? They all came out of the fire of King Nebuchadnezzar without being burnt.
