POSSES YOUR POSSESSION Monday

Text: Obadiah 1:17 - 21 Memory verse: v 17
Any
wickedness and persecution against the people of God will definitely be judged
and punished by God. Our text is a recompense for Edom. God’s word concerning
Edom actually came to pass. The Edomites were routed by Judas Maccabeus in 164
B.C. The nation no longer existed by the first century A.D. At the time of
Obadiah’s prophecy, Edom may have seemed more likely to survive than Judah. Yet
Edom has vanished, and Judah still exists. This demonstrates the absolute
certainty of God’s word and of the punishment awaiting all who have mistreated
God’s people. Do you doubt God’s promises concerning you? Let this text
encourage you.
When
God afflicts His covenant people, it is always for their purification and
salvation; in due time He grants them, through Christ, a glorious deliverance
from their troubles, and makes them victorious over all that hated and
persecuted them. God (Zion) is source of our possession. Let us rely on Him.
Food for Thought: God does honour His word.
Prayer: God, grant that I will posses all my possession and
none will elude me.
