**Ezekiel 31:14** — *"For they have all been consigned to death, to the depths of the earth, among the mortals who descend to the Pit."*
The cedar of Assyria towered above every forest. Its branches sheltered nations. Its roots drank deep. And yet God brought it low — not from weakness, but as a covenant warning to every tree that would dare set its crown among the clouds.
This is not cruelty. This is mercy with a long view.
Proverbs 16:18 reminds us, *"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."* And James 4:6 echoes it — *"God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."*
The cedar's fall was a sermon preached in timber and root, meant to be heard by every soul that would sojourn after it.
Greatness that forgets its Source has already begun its descent.
Walk with that truth today, and let it shape where you set your crown.
