Reflect

Nahum addresses people living beneath the threat of a brutal empire and names God as a secure refuge.

Divine goodness is not abstract here: God knows those seeking shelter and stands against destructive power.

Identify a trustworthy form of refuge you can receive or help make available to another person.

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

What trouble needs an honest name?

How can you help make refuge practical?

Faithful God, meet me in Nahum 1:7. Help me receive its truth with honesty, live it with wisdom and carry your love into the ordinary choices before me. Amen.
