“I am perfect in beauty” (27:3). The ancient Mediterranean city-state, Tyre, traded with nations all over the world to build her wealth. Natural resources and intricate crafts came through her ports: turquoise, gold, oak and cedar, fine embroidered Egyptian linen, honey and olive oil, blue fabric and multicolored rugs (ch 27). But Tyre’s pride led her people to attack other nations (26:2) and dishonor human beings (slave-trade, 27:13). God promised to make them “a desolate city” (26:19) instead of paradise.

Rather than letting greed or pride strangle our hearts, God calls us to use His resources for His glory. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord ...” (Col 3:23).
