10 You have indeed defeated Edom and now you are arrogant. Glory in your victory, but stay at home! Why ask for trouble and cause your own downfall and that of Judah also?”
I didn't get much today but this section caught my attention. I don't go picking fights but maybe I do get arrogant in a way by presuming that the good things in my life from my effort and not from God. I have nothing to arrogant about, without his blessings I am nothing. Thank God for who he has put an my life and all the good fortune I have had in my 46 years on this earth.

These chapters are sometimes difficult to pull things from. They seem to be sending the same message over and over again. Follow God's direction...don't think your success comes from you. The people/kings keep falling into the same traps. Thousands of years later, those are two of the biggest traps we still fall into.
