Pride

November 9, 2007

Obadiah 1:3-4 GNB
(3) Your pride has deceived you. Your capital is a fortress of solid rock; your home is high in the mountains, and so you say to yourself, 'Who can ever pull me down?'
(4) Even though you make your home as high as an eagle's nest, so that it seems to be among the stars, yet I will pull you down.


The people of Edom were living high, literally. They lived on a cliff on the rocks. Makes the area easy to defend, no one can get down to them from above or up from below. They will be seen coming and the city could defend itself.

What they forgot was God. God brought them down.

We need to think about that. We may think we are so good that we cannot be beaten by the devil, maybe even take pride in it.

God can help you understand that you know. He will make sure of it.
