Today’s Bible Reading: Ezekiel 29, 30, 31, 32; Revelation 11

Scripture Focus:

Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

Observation:

God allows the kingdoms of this world to function. Nations believe themselves to be autonomous, but let there be no mistake. God is in control of nations. All of today’s reading in Ezekiel points to the same fact. Egypt, the nation that ruled for centuries, was prophesied against by Ezekiel that it would be dispersed, and though God would allow it’s people to return after 40 years, it would never be the once proud nation that it was.

God is in control of the rise and fall of nations. They play into his eternal purposes.

Application:

Our nation, only a couple hundred years old, seems unconquerable. Not so. It is like any other nation, under God’s rule. If we cease to follow God’s laws and principles, we will also be judged. And we are rapidly becoming a nation that doesn’t know God.

Prayer:

Father God, help me to be a light in the darkness of a generation that doesn’t know you.
