Man Reaching Up

Scripture
Genesis Chapter 11:4-6
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Observation
Disobedience doesn't evade any man! God wanted His people to scatter and populate the earth but what did they do? They did exactly the opposite! They didn't scatter and to add to the chaos they decided to build a structure to reach the heaven. As if they could touch God! Religion is man reaching up to God but Christianity is God reaching down to man. Praise the Lord for that!

Application
Do I try and serve the Lord my own way? Do I make up rules and regulations that are not biblical? Do I have preconceived ideas of the gospel and God's plan for my life? Are my motives pure?
