Scripture: Obadiah 1:15-18
SHOW NOTES:
The book of Obadiah is a vision from the Sovereign LORD concerning the land of Edom. We might overlook this message because we don’t understand the prophecy or because it doesn’t seem relevant to us today. However, the truth found in these twenty-one verses can transform the way we live each day.
Pride in our hearts can lead to mistreatment and violence toward others. This happened with the Edomites. They were misled by their pride and boasted of their importance and safety, living in a rock fortress.
The “day of the LORD,” a key theme in Israel’s end-times beliefs, points to future events. This DAY signifies the time when God’s rule is established in human history, and He judges all enemies who oppose His reign. This “day,” then, decides the fate of Edom and other nations that oppose Israel.
The day is near when I, the LORD, will judge all godless nations! As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads.
- Obadiah 1:15
We serve a holy and righteous God, who is the perfect Judge over all. This calls us to follow Him and live according to His commands and Holy Law. Lord, shine Your light on our sins of pride and selfishness. It is our desire to walk faithfully with God.
