Life can feel ruled by chance, especially when danger surrounds God’s fragile and flawed people. In Ezekiel 29, God judges Egypt because Pharaoh claims divine power and Egypt fails Israel, then uses Babylon to carry out His plan. Nothing escapes His rule. At the cross, lawless men killed Jesus according to God’s definite plan, and God raised Him, turning humanity’s worst injustice into salvation from judgement. His power and devoted love answer fear with trust, the rejection of idols, and love for His church.
