DAY 31: OBADIAH

“Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.” (Obadiah 1:21)

Dear Christian,

We have a sovereign and just King.

Though we may see injustices in the present, we can have full confidence that the Lord will bring about justice and righteousness at the appointed hour.

The Lord hates evil and loves what is good.

But this is the dilemma the people of God found themselves in. They were calling evil good, and calling good evil. God’s people became God’s own enemies. And yet because of God’s great love for us, He sent Jesus on a rescue mission. 

While it is completely right and just for us to receive death and hell because of how we’ve ignored God, Jesus took our place so that we can take His in Heaven. 

Jesus has paid it all. Praise the Lord!

Love,
Patsy
