Day 200 Ezekiel 28–30 Psalm 9

In Ezekiel 28, this chapter begins by focusing on the prince of Tyre, a ruler so full of pride that he claims to be a god. He had forgotten his limits. Ezequiel grieves. He compares the prince to someone in Eden, beautifully made and full of glory, but pride and sin corrupted him. When we think we’re self-made, we step into dangerous territory.

In Ezekiel 29, God now turns His attention toward Egypt, specifically towards the Pharaoh. Egypt is described as a great river monster. It is boasting as if it created the river itself. God says He will drag him (Egypt) from the river, and leave him in the wilderness.

In Ezekiel 30, destruction for Egypt and its allies is coming through the rise of Babylon. This came true when Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Egypt around 568 BC.

In Psalm 9, David praises God for bringing justice and defending those in need. When life feels unfair, this psalm is a reminder that God sees, hears, and acts in His own time.
