Obadiah

Obadiah 13

"Do not enter the gate of My people
In the day of their disaster.
Yes, you, do not gloat over their calamity
In the day of their disaster.
And do not loot their wealth
In the day of their disaster.

Too often, people look at something bad that happens to someone else, and wonder how they can find a benefit for themselves in it.  Looters, con men promising help, speculators looking for a deal.  These types of people are less worried about the victims than about their own profits.

However, the people of God are called to be different.  We are to use what we have to help those in need, not try to expand what we have.  This is one of the ways that we can show that we are different from the world.
