The pride of your heart has deceived you (Obadiah 1:3)

"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?' (Obadiah 1:3)


"Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever.
On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.
You should not look down on your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble.
You should not march through the gates of my people in the day fo their disaster, nor look down on them in their calamity in the day of their disaster, nor seize their wealth in the day of their disaster.
You should not wait at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor hand over their survivors in the day of their trouble.
The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head" (Obadiah 1:10-15).

Heavenly, Father
Thank you for your words at this time.

I repent my pride of heart which is always wrong in your sight. I don't want to be decieved from the pride of heart. please, make me be humble before you and remember that I am your creation and child which is supposed to follow your will and your grace, and your commands. To rely on you is not suffering of prison, but the freedom of blessing.

Heavenly, Father
Thank you for giving this insight: if I ignor my brothers' suffering in Christ, it is the violence against my brother. If I just stand before them in Christ without nothing to do for my brothers when they are in trouble, it means that I have the pride of heart and it is the violence against my brothers who are your children.

Lord, please, let me consider my brother with your heart which is merciful and gracious, and love all the time, especially the time of their suffering.

Lord,
lead me to have compassion on them who are suffering and to pray and be with them.

Lord,
please, givet me have your heart which is willing to die for your children who are my brothers.

God,

please, help me discern where you intend me and my family to be and what to do.
please, lead me to realize your will for your glory and to obey it.
please, give us strong faith
please, help us to remember what you have done for us until this time.
