"I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD" (Eze 29:20).
In this passage we learn that God rules in the affairs of men. God used heathen nations to judge other heathen nations and even to discipline his own people when they went astray after other gods. Notice also that "though we do not merit anything of God by our service, yet He does not forget our work of faith and labor of love when it is wrought for Him. If He gave Egypt to a heathen king for his service in respect to Tyre, we may also expect Him to bestow a reward on those who have built gold, silver, and precious stones, into his holy temple" (F.B. Myer).
When Christians sacrifice to serve the kingdom of God for the glory of God we can count on the grace of God to work in and through our lives. Work for God's purposes not against them less you find yourself fighting against God.
