Today, I am reading and commenting on  Ezekiel 24-26.

God gives Ezekiel a prophecy where He compares Jerusalem to a cooking pot.  In the prophecy God calls for filling the pot with the best cuts of meat and boiling them all together.  The point of this prophecy being that God’s judgement, unlike man’s, will not favor the rich and powerful, or politically connected, over the poor and powerless.  When God brings judgement He will treat rich and poor equally, the only distinction He will make is between the righteous and the unrighteous.  And I want to note that while this passage does not make this point, the righteous are those who repent and throw themselves on God’s mercy.

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