Today, I am reading and commenting on  Ezekiel 27-28.

God had established Tyre as a place with great potential and given them skill in commerce, but they took credit for their success and considered themselves gods.  So, God humbled them and brought them low.  In the same way, God will bring down any nation which begins to believe it cannot be defeated no matter what it does.  Ezekiel goes on to warn Sidon that it too would face destruction.   Ezekiel concludes this portion of his prophecies by telling us that these nations (those from yesterday as well as Tyre and Sidon) will face God’s judgement because of their hostility to Israel in order to demonstrate to Israel that God is their God.

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