“…To bring low the pride of all glory and to humble all who are renowned on the earth” Ch23 V9
This chapter foretells the destruction of the great Phoenician city of Tyre, one of the most famous of the ancient world.. It was very wealthy and very evil. God would destroy Tyre because He hated its people’s pride. Pride separates people from God and He will not tolerate it. Out accomplishments come from God, and we have no reason for pride in ourselves. It is understood that some MPs are currently suicidal – their reputations have been shattered by recent disclosures and they have suffered enormous loss of pride. Let us be people of blameless integrity who can take pride in our achievements, recognising that it is God who makes this possible.
