Reflect
Obadiah speaks against Edom’s violence and gloating over Judah, then points toward survival, holiness and restored belonging.
God sees betrayal and refuses to let violent power write the final word over a harmed people.
Let hope include truth about harm, protection for those at risk and a restored place to belong.
The page leaves room around the words because attention does not need to be crowded. Colouring can become a quiet way to stay with the verse, but there is no pressure to complete every letter. Let understanding, prayer and faithful response matter more than finish.
Pause and notice
A few questions to sit with
