Today, I am reading and commenting on  Ezekiel 29-31.

Ezekiel prophesies here against Egypt.  The rulers of Egypt thought that the power of their land, which derived, in part, from their geographic location, was a result of their own actions.  This prophecy is a warning to all who believe that their power is a result of their own greatness.  God will bring down those whose pride leads them to believe they are accountable to no one.  I find myself struggling with this post.  When I began writing I had a clear idea of what this prophecy meant for us today, but I am finding it impossible to put that idea into words.  I will end with this, which will perhaps capture the thought I had when I started. God will use the fall of the great and mighty to bring glory to His name and to cause people to recognize that He is the true ruler of all.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
