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. (Obadiah 1:4)
Daily reading: Proverbs 20
These words, spoken against the pride of Edom, echo far beyond their ancient setting. The Edomites exalted themselves in power and position, thinking they were untouchable—but God saw and judged. Today, the spirit of Edom lives on. In our age of technological advancement, humans aim ever higher—building space stations, sending probes to distant planets, even dreaming of colonizing Mars. But no altitude, invention, or ambition can lift humanity beyond God’s reach. Psalm 139 reminds us that we cannot flee from His presence—not in the heavens nor the depths. Obadiah’s warning still speaks: pride invites a fall. Whether nations, companies or individuals seek independence from God, He remains sovereign. Man may reach for the stars, but God alone rules over all creation.
