Israel have been hurt and hurt bad - basically their relatives are coming against them, rather than helping them. The Edomites were descendants of Esua, Jacobs twin, whom Israel descended from. They were to be friends and allies, yet Edom had got proud, they didn’t believe they needed anyone, and in their pride thought they were untouchable even by God, so they persecuted the Israelites. Last week we saw how pride starts in the heart and plays out in; your position, in what you have, over your relationships, over your knowledge/intellect, over your strength/abilities. We will now see more ways in which pride affects our life, and how humility is the option that brings Grace - Gods riches, blessings and freedom to our lives.

Pride comes before a fall - Proverbs 16v18, and even a fool! Pride is something that can cause a whole load of trouble, makes us self assured and self centred. It causes us to become arrogant, which is dangerous. This is something that God continually warns us of. So today we will see that God through the prophet obadiah addresses the issues of pride among the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, a man who through his pride gave up his brith right....
