Tyre must have had a lasting impact during the times of Ezekiel. It must have stood above and beyond the competing cities both in stature and beauty as well as the ability to lure protection from Persia, Lydia and Put.Cities known even in the NT such as Tarshish did business with her and countries such as Greece exchanged slaves and bronze ware for her wares. Much transacted there but nothing honored God.
How true is that today both on a corporate and individual level? I applaud those companies such as Chick-fil-a whose mantra extends into allowing their employees to worship God on Sundays and Baja Fresh whose CEO is a professing and practing Christian. What about us? Do we acknowledge God in all our ways (Prov 3:6) and does that include Him in the workplace? The NIV entitled this a "Lament for Tyre" - will other lament about a life that sought to better him/herself and did nothing to acknowledge God?
Prayers for my peeps and especially for my family - that God will protect and care for them and that they will acknowledge Him in all things.
Praise for today: that the Lord is the strength of His people.
