In Genesis 11, we learn that God has a sense of humor. In verse 4, we are told that the people of the earth wanted to build a tower that would reach to the heavens. In verse 5, we are told the the Lord "came down" to see the city and the tower. In Hebrew, the word translated "come down" was often used for the act of coming off a mountain. The idea is that this "gigantic" tower of man was so small that the Lord could not see it without stooping.
I think Genesis 11 reminds us of the greatness and grandeur of God. It shows us that our greatest efforts are feeble compared to the Lord's work. Let's be thankful that we serve a great and mighty God.
