The book of Obadiah contains a message for the nation of Edom. Edom was descended from Esau. Edom had been unkind to the Israelites on multiple occasions. As Obadiah noted, their arrogance caused them to be deceived. They thought that no one could bring them down. But as the proverb warns, pride comes before destruction. God would punish Edom for their sins against Judah and against Him. God’s people would be delivered from their enemy, Edom. Read Obadiah 1:3-4. Talk as a family about times or situations when it is tempting to become prideful.

Bible Passage: Obadiah 1

Memory Verse: Psalm 28:7

Bonus Verse: Psalm 18:2

Younger Kids Text Truth: God will deliver His people from their enemies.

Older Kids Text Truth: God cares for His people and will deliver them from their enemies.

The Book of Obadiah

Obadiah 1

The prophet Obadiah had a vision from God for the nation of Edom. Edom was one of the Israelites’ neighbors, but they were not good neighbors.

The Lord spoke to Edom, “I will make you insignificant among all the nations. You will be despised because your arrogance has deceived you. You think that no one can bring you down. You think you soar like an eagle with a nest high among the stars. I will bring you down.

“One day you will be conquered. Your wisdom will be taken away. Your warriors will be terrified.

“You will be shamed and destroyed forever because of how you have treated My people, Israel. You watched as Israel was defeated and strangers captured her wealth. You were happy to see it happen. You rejoiced that Judah was destroyed and in distress.

“A day of judgment is coming. The way you have treated others is the way you will be treated. Edom will no longer exist. My people will be delivered. My people will take over your land, and I will rule over the entire kingdom.”

God’s message to Edom was very good news for Israel. God would deliver the people from their enemy. Then God’s people would have the land God promised them. God cares for His people. He protected and blessed them.
