Ezekiel 29:20

“‘I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor, because they worked for Me,” says the Lord GOD.’ (Ezekiel 29:20)

This speaks of Nebuchadnezzar, who ironically is one of the few people who in the Bible are called ‘My servant’ by God (among them being Isaiah – if you can remember!). God used Nebuchadnezzar in a mighty way, without him knowing it for a long time. This again reinforces God’s supremacy and sovereignty over us. Even when we don’t know it, God is using us for His glory. I like the way it puts it: you worked for Me so I’ll give you some wages…here you go, have Egypt. God moves in huge (but mysterious) ways!
