We’ve all heard people say, “Pride goes before a fall”. And the book of Proverbs agrees when it says “Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall”. So, if pride is so destructive, you would think more people would run from it. The trouble is that pride is not only destructive but it’s deceiving. That’s exactly where the nation of Edom was during the time of the book of Obadiah. Edom was blinded by pride and they couldn’t even see that they were going to be destroyed.
