”Your arrogant heart has deceived you, you who live in clefts of the rock in your home on the heights, who say to yourself, “Who can bring me down to the ground?” Though you seem to soar like an eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down. This is the Lord’s declaration.“
Obadiah 1:3-4 CSB
These minor Prophets had a tough job: trying to get Gods people to see the foolishness of their own way and the Love and Power of God at the same time. Not an easy task because we all believe what we are doing is the right thing, the best thing…
Obediah sees Gods people as arrogant because they think they are safe. They have a good safe home and are even very successful! In fact so successful that they have confidence in their past success to the point that they cannot fail. But they have ignored the Lord for the last time. Their success will not prevent Him from teaching them the lesson they so desperately need.
God help me to live life in humility, always seeking what you want me to do. Allow me to trust in you, not my own ability…I pray that I would have the strength and courage to trust You even when You are asking me to do things that don’t make sense or even seem like they will only lead to pain.
I love you Lord and trust that You do everything for my ultimate good. Help me walk confidently into scary and hard situation, knowing that You have it all under control and will bless me for obedience!
