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

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

    The people of Egypt were proud of their land, as if they were somehow responsible for the might of the Nile. They had come to believe that their strength and riches were something they had created themselves, rather than something God had blessed them with. As a result, they had promised support to the people of Israel, support they were unable to supply. Because of their pride and arrogance God brought judgment against them. The same thing will happen to people today who believe that their wealth and power are completely of their own making. The powerful who do not recognize that their power is a result of gifts from God. When people or nations become proud and believe that all that they have is their own creation it will not be long before they experience a similar fate to that of Egypt in this passage.
