"Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD." Obadiah 1:4
Edom was lifted up in pride and self-importance. This condition of heart gives rise to a false sense of security and self deception. In our modern world, we too are often guilty of the sin of Edom. This happens when we turn to our own devices to procure for ourselves, forsaking and disregarding God, and failing to recognize Him as the source of all life and blessing. Soon our own hearts are lifted with pride and we are deceived into thinking our achievements and position empower us and make us superior or invincible. We must repent, for God brings down the proud and arrogant but lifts up the humble in heart.
