Three times, in the first verse of Obadiah, the divine origin of
Obadiah's message is emphasized - "This is what the Almighty Lord says
... We heard a message from the Lord. A messenger was sent ..."
(Obadiah, verse 10). The final verse places the emphasis on the
divine outcome of the prophetic message: "The Kingdom will belong to the
Lord" (Obadiah, verse 21). What is the way in which the Lord leads us
from the beginning of our faith to the completion of our faith? - It's
the way of holiness (Obadiah, verse 17). God is calling us to be holy.
He's calling us to walk with Him in holiness of life.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
