Breaking of the Pride

"The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
'Who can bring me down to the ground?'
Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,"
declares the Lord.

Obadiah 3-4

Who am I to ever be proud? Who am I to ever say, "Look what I've done!"? I cannot, for it is the Lord who has been working in and through my life. Praise God for His mercy. Praise God for His salvation. He has made the brokenhearted whole and the proud-hearted broken.

To those who live in the clefts of the rocks and have their home on the heights, God loves you. To those who soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, God can bring you down for He is just, but His salvation extends also to you.
