This notion is woven throughout the biblical narrative, illustrating both human efforts and divine interventions. The Bible provides numerous examples of attempts, both successful and unsuccessful, that reveal the nature of human ambition, faith, and reliance on God.<br><br><b>Human Attempts and Divine Will</b><br><br>The Bible often contrasts human attempts with the sovereign will of God. In <a href="/genesis/11.htm">Genesis 11:1-9</a>, the account of the Tower of Babel illustrates humanity's attempt to build a city and a tower "with its top in the heavens" (<a href="/genesis/11-4.htm">Genesis 11:4</a>). This endeavor was driven by a desire to make a name for themselves and avoid being scattered across the earth. However, God intervened, confusing their language and dispersing them, demonstrating that human attempts contrary to divine will are ultimately futile.<br><br><b>Attempts in Faith and Obedience</b><br><br>The Bible also highlights attempts made in faith and obedience to God. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/22.htm">Genesis 22</a>, Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac is a profound example of an attempt rooted in faith. Abraham's readiness to obey God's command, even when it seemed to contradict God's promise, exemplifies a faithful attempt to align with divine instruction. <a href="/hebrews/11-17.htm">Hebrews 11:17-19</a> commends Abraham's faith, noting that he "reasoned that God could raise the dead."<br><br><b>Attempts and Human Weakness</b><br><br>Scripture acknowledges human weakness and the limitations of human attempts. In <a href="/matthew/26-41.htm">Matthew 26:41</a> , Jesus advises His disciples, "Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak." This highlights the struggle between human intention and the frailty of the flesh, emphasizing the need for divine assistance in overcoming challenges.<br><br><b>Attempts at Righteousness</b><br><br>The Apostle Paul addresses the futility of attempting to achieve righteousness through human effort alone. In <a href="/romans/10-3.htm">Romans 10:3</a> , he writes about the Israelites, "Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness." This underscores the biblical teaching that true righteousness comes through faith in Christ, not through human attempts to fulfill the law.<br><br><b>Attempts and Perseverance</b><br><br>The Bible encourages perseverance in righteous attempts, even in the face of adversity. <a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> states, "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him." This verse highlights the value of steadfastness in attempts to live a godly life, promising divine reward for those who endure.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical perspective on attempts encompasses a range of human experiences, from endeavors that align with God's will to those that fall short due to human frailty or misguided ambition. Through these narratives, the Bible teaches the importance of aligning human attempts with divine purposes, relying on God's strength, and persevering in faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
