Ezekiel 29: 13-14
“‘But,’ says GOD, the Master, ‘that’s not the end of it. After the forty years, I’ll gather up the Egyptians from all the places where they’ve been scattered. I’ll put things back together again for Egypt. I’ll bring her back to Pathros where she got her start long ago.’”
“But this is what the Sovereign Lord also says: At the end of the forty years I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations to which they have been scattered. I will restore the prosperity of Egypt ad bring its people back to the land of Pathros I southern Egypt from which they came.”
God is love, and he showers his nature upon all peoples of the earth. The Old Testament prophets record his delight in and discipline of many nations. Here it is Egypt. In the first century God incarnate died so they may be grafted into his family tree. He does not respect man’s divisions. His vengeance is reserved only for evil, wherever he finds it, regardless of color or tribe.
Lord, praise you for your infinite love for all people, all creation. I want to live in it, shine with it, give it back to you. Keep my heart from evil lest it earn your vengeance. Root me solidly in your family in the place you prepared for me. I am overwhelmed by your amazing grace and tender care for me. Thank you.
