Ezekiel 29:1-21, KV 16
“Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence for the people of Israel but will be a reminder of their sin in turning to her for help. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.’”

Daily Bread
The futility of misplaced trust.
Israel kept looking to Egypt for help, even though Egypt had once enslaved them. This shows how easy it is to look for safety in what seems strong or familiar, rather than trusting God, our true source of help. Sometimes we try to rely only on our own intellect, friends, or technology for wisdom. But this passage reminds us to seek God's guidance first. Whether you're picking a school major, planning your future, or dealing with personal problems, start with prayer and ask for God’s wisdom. Instead of following the world or people, let your faith in God lead your life.

Jesus, the horn of strength.
When God talks about raising a "horn of strength" for Israel, He’s pointing to the Messiah, Jesus, who brings the greatest salvation and help. The closer we get to Jesus, the more we understand and appreciate His power and care. He is our true source of comfort. While we may be tempted to rely on things like the world, careers, or people to feel secure, only God can give us real peace. Let’s take time to turn to Jesus today, knowing that everything we need—comfort, wisdom, or guidance—can be found in Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being the unfailing source of help in my life. Help me not to lean on my own understanding or the world’s promises, but to always turn to You for guidance, strength, and support. Teach me to fully rely on You, knowing that You alone can navigate me through this world. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

One Word: Turn to God, not the world!
