Uh-Oh! Edom had gone against the Lord’s people and therefore had gone against the Lord. Their destruction is foretold.

This verse has application even today, and even for those in the church. Too many times we find ourselves fighting against God’s plan for our lives and even His plans for the lives of others. There are many reasons why, but none of them are good. It matters not how good we attempt to make the reasons appear. There is no good reason to go against God. Doing so will simply cause self-destruction.

The Edomites did in fact face destruction and for the most part are not heard of after 70 A.D. While there appeared to be times that they prospered by going against God, those time were short-lived and faded into obscurity. It is the same for us today. Going against the will of God may appear to be going well. However, rest assured it will be short-lived and bring destruction.

As believers, God has called us to share the good news of the gospel. If we go against His plans, stop serving Him, and start serving ourselves, destruction will be sure to happen at some point. Keep in mind, serving ourselves in the name of serving Him, is still just serving ourselves. Let us keep the focus above on God, and save ourselves from self-destruction.
