Obadiah 1:3,4
"The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, 'who will bring me down to the ground?' Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the Lord." ESV
Some people have a very inflated view of themselves. In fact, some are so in love with themselves they believe they are seen by all others as wonderful and magnificent. They are so deceived by their pride that they believe they are above the laws of God and man. God will allow them to continue in their deception for a time, but will bring them to reality at some point. It would be wise for us to examine ourselves, be real about who we are, and keep ourselves from falling into this kind of evil pride. Yes, it can happen to any of us. We can fall from any level.
Heavenly Father, we ask that you would help us to examine ourselves honestly to keep a true perspective on who we really are, to see ourselves as You see us. Then we know You will be glorified through us. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
