Reflect

After warnings and upheaval, Zephaniah pictures a restored people held within God’s saving presence and delight.

God is not merely tolerating the restored community; God rejoices, quiets fear with love and sings over them.

Allow yourself to receive delight without earning it, then offer calm and encouragement to someone else.

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.
