Friday – Prophets

Reading – Ezekiel 28-30

Highlight Verse:

“Son of man, give the prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign Lord: “In your great pride you claim, ‘I am a god! I sit on a divine throne in the heart of the sea.’ But you are only a man and not a god, though you boast that you are a god.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭28‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

I think we can safely say that the Prince of Tyre had a problem with pride.

It’s very easy for me to say, “at least I don’t struggle with pride on that level!”

But then, how many times to I go about my life making decisions – sometimes significant decisions – without once praying and asking God for guidance.

It’s easy to think that I have enough wisdom to make decisions on my own.

I think I have all the information I need to make a good decision.

But I never have a true God’s eye view of every situation.

I am not a god.

I have a very limited perspective.

For any significant decision, it would probably be a good thing to consult with the one who truly does have a God perspective – God.

Have you ever caught yourself making decisions without God’s perspective, only to have those decisions blow up in your face?
Where do you draw the line between a significant decision and an insignificant one?
