Lesson from our Session…………………………..
MONDAY
(Genesis 11:2) And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
Noah’s descendants were evidently nomadic people. They moved south and east to the land of Shinar. At some point, they determined to build a city in the region around the area later known as Babylon. Some students believe that Shinar is near where the Garden of Eden was located, since the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers both ran through that region.
This plain was very large, fruitful, and delightful, and therefore judged a fit place for a settlement, where they might have room enough, and which promised them a sufficient sustenance and provided for their continuance, quickly beginning to build a city and tower.
Lesson: Unity can be unhealthy if it is without a worthy goal (Gen. 11:1-2; Ps. 2:1-4; Rev. 17:12-13)
Reflection: Our global economy has the power to elevate the condition of many poor peoples but only if the markets can control their greed and have concern for those affected. The internet has the potential to provide information and education to untold masses but over half of its capacity is spent on pornography.
