Jan 4 Continual Pursuit to Elevate Man and Diminish God

The Tower of Babel is an interesting narrative (I don't use the word story because people begin to think fictional account). Man always tries to elevate his status and push God out of the picture. This began with Adam and Eve wanting to know good and evil themselves instead of depending on God to tell them. Nothing has really changed. God says to wait until marriage for sex, but we all think we have a better way - how is it working out for us? I need to accept God as the higher authority in my life and to follow his direction - to lift Him up - and for me to decrease.
