Today’s Reading: Genesis 11:4–9
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“Come, let us build ourselves a city… so that we may make a name for ourselves.”
(Genesis 11:4)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Exile and Home: Driven Away

A Thought for Today

Ambition without God leads away from Him.

What This Means for Us Today

The tower of Babel was built to secure identity and control. The people wanted recognition apart from God.

When pride grows, unity becomes self-serving.

God scattered them, not to destroy them, but to prevent deeper harm.

Carry This With You

Let your purpose be shaped by God, not ego.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, guard me from pride.
Teach me to seek Your name, not my own.
Amen.

Today’s Invitation

Examine your motives today.
Are they rooted in trust or self-promotion?
