Modern Day "Babel?"

5/2/2025

I asked Perplexity a medical question yesterday, and later could not remember if I talked to God first. NOT GOOD. So I made it Right and then made this poem.

I’m not saying God can’t use ChatGPT. I care that we are Connected in the Spirit, with eyes on Him, so He CAN have tracks to run on, however He chooses. And that we never turn elsewhere in our hearts.

A tower is tall

It helps a man see

Climb it and use it

Higher than a tree

See things wide and far

What you hadn’t before

Get an advantage

Way above the floor

See who is approaching

Before enemies get near

Now you have time

To gather war gear

Or if it’s a friend

Prepare a welcome feast

The tower has nice perks

To say the least

The tower was made

By the hands of men

They didn’t ask God

If He approved of their plan

And in their hearts

They honored THEIR name

They reached for the Heavens

But it was for THEIR own fame

Anything built

By a community of flesh

Instead of The Builder

Whose Works stand the test

Is destined to fall

It’s more damage than good

Why didn’t they ask God

As all men first should

God didn’t like

Their independent plan

So He took away comprehension

Scattered them in the land

Is the modern day Babel

ChatGPT?

Bit by bit

Building Perplexity?

It helps us see more info

Far and wide

But dare you use it

Without God at your side?

When you need help

To whom do you turn first?

Is it the tower of man-bits

Or is it God that you thirst?

Only in Jesus

Are your needs fulfilled

Only His Spirit

Leads us to love God’s Will

If you use man-bits

Made of mostly x-y 1

Keep it submitted

To the Lord Most High

He is the First

And He is the Last

Cling to His Wisdom

Get HIS Vision so vast

1In this conversation, the XY-axis versus the Z-axis is being used as an illustration of the difference between eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil vs eating of the Tree of Life. XY-axis living is a “flat” natural living of good vs evil. Z-axis is a supernatural Zoe life in Jesus. Back
