Hallowed Be Your Name

"How soon men forget the most tremendous judgments, and go back to their former crimes!" - Matthew Henry.

Matthew Henry is commenting on Genesis 11 and the story of the Tower of Babel. Read it for yourself. The root sin of man is the desire to make a name for himself. How quickly, even after judgment and warning, we revert to the old man and seek our kingdom and our fame and not God's kingdom and his glory.

Lord forgive me, Lord protect me from the schemes of the evil one and the sinful lusts of my own heart and Lord preserve me and motivate me with the amazing grace of the gospel that I may no more be that old man but that I would be what I am, a new man in Christ being conformed to him. May my heart cry be, "Hallowed be your name".
