Did you ever
notice that a lot of cultural development took place right after the Fall?
That's right...
Immediately after sin entered the world, Cain built a city, Jabal pioneered in the area of livestock, Jubal became the father of those who play musical instruments, and Tubal-cain labored as the first metal worker (See
Gen.4).
It goes to show... sin can't suppress the instinct God has given us to create and develop.
But as the incident at Babel reveals, using our ability to produce is not enough... it must have its proper focus.
And that focus is not to make a name for ourselves, but to build a city with our Creator (Gen.
11:4ff).
So... whatever you do today, do it for the glory of God (1 Cor.10:31).
