Morning Devotional: Even You Were Like One of Them

AM Edition for July 23

Today's devotional centers around Obadiah 1:11, focusing on the expectations of brotherly kindness and the severe consequences when those chosen by God fall into sin. The key theme is the significant responsibility of the chosen to distinguish themselves from worldly ways.

Key Points

• Responsibility of the Chosen: As those specially favored and blessed by God, our sins carry greater weight.
• Self-Examination: Encourages believers to closely examine their lives to ensure they do not mirror the sinful ways of the world.
• Emphasis on Actions: Actions are more grievous when committed by those who are greatly blessed and favored.
• Call to Confession: Highlights the importance of acknowledging and confessing when we have acted like the wicked.
