Reading:

Obadiah 1-4, 10-21

“The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee” — Practically speaking, how shall I avoid (or escape) this kind of self-deception?

“For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee” — Can I identify with that kind of treatment of my brother?

“As thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee” — Does that encourage me or frighten me?

What do I know about showing compassion? Especially when judgment seems so fitting and deserved?

Who shall deliver me? Or do I not need deliverance?

How do I know whether or not my setbacks and calamities are God bringing me down?

Does anyone need deliverance from me?

Am I expected to deliver anyone? Why or why not?

I was encouraged in reading this earlier this morning:

The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them to search out a resting place for them.

My times are in thy hand. — He shall choose our inheritance for us. — Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness; … make thy way straight before my face.

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shalt bring it to pass. — In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. — Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. — Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. — Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. — Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
