oh the humanity

Today we read from Obadiah 1:1-21 in the One Year Bible. We read about Edom, which is super successful and powerful, but which God warns is going to be destroyed.

That's an important warning for all time. We all know examples of extreme hubris being brought low. Pride does in fact come before a fall, and that fall can be disastrous. Called your giant steamship unsinkable and see what happens. Call yourself a god and find yourself eaten by worms. Tell the world you're going to take over and find your life ending shortly in a bunker.

So let's stay humble. Let's ask God to KEEP us humble so He doesn't have to humiliate us.

God, thank You for keeping us humble.
