The message from Isaiah 40 is "those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength" even as eagles! Obadiah gives the counter message. If you live filled with pride, you can expect to come crashing down. In fact the passage says you will not be "lifted up" but "crashing down." Here is the passage...
"The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?' Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down," declares the LORD."
Soar or dive? Do we wait upon the Lord or are we filled with pride? Different choices and different outcomes.
