Though you ascend as high as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down (Obadiah 4 NKJV).
Why do the wicked seem to be sheltered from God’s wrath?
The tiny Book of Obadiah conveys a big message: God will eventually bring down the arrogant. The Edomites, descendants of Esau, had settled in a secure terrain, believing themselves invincible. However, the Almighty reached them. As the wicked Edomites committed violence against the Israelites, God demonstrated that “vengeance is Mine, I will repay” (Romans 12:19 NKJV). Later, the nation fell as the prophet foresaw.
Take to heart the words of Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV), which say, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” The arrogant cannot indefinitely evade God’s wrath.
Employment Point: God’s vengeance topples the arrogant in His perfect timing.

About this Plan
Devotions on F.I.R.E. journeys through the Bible in one year. Each day includes a devotion based on Dr. Burge’s F.I.R.E. method of Bible Study. F.I.R.E. stands for Familiarity, Interpretation, Relationship, and Employment. The F.I.R.E. method and the daily devotions help readers remember and apply what they read as they fuel the fire in their hearts for God’s Word—adapted from the book Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year Two, by Dr. Ken J. Burge, Sr.
