Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. – Proverbs 13:10

In the study of Obadiah as written about in “Walking in the Light of Truth”, we see that Edom was a nation constantly at war, driven by pride and a lack of humility. Their arrogance led them to oppose their own kin and rejoice in others’ misfortune. Sadly, this spirit still exists today in certain people and nations — those who elevate themselves while sowing division and conflict. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called not to wish disaster upon those against us, but to pursue peace and extend grace. We should pray for their transformation, hoping they will turn from pride, follow Jesus, and become a force for good in the world.

The song I Will Follow by Maranatha Singers is a heartfelt declaration of devotion to Jesus, who sets us free from the burdens of sin and leads us into a life of purpose and peace. Its lyrics reflect a journey of trust—following Christ not just in moments of clarity, but through every season, knowing He guides us to where we truly need to be. As we walk in His footsteps, we’re drawn toward eternal values like love, grace, humility, and a deeper sense of purpose that transcends worldly pursuits. The song is both a prayer and a promise, echoing the call to live a life shaped by the freedom and truth found in Him.
