We cannot be indifferent

SUMMARY: The book of Obadiah talks about the condemnation of Edom for not helping Israel when they were attacked and instead staying neutral and indifferent. The author reflects on whether they are also acting indifferent in their life and realizes they need to help those in need. Being silent and not intervening is the same as participating with those who are causing harm. The need of others is an opportunity to show love and mercy.

Yesterday afternoon I came across the book of Obadiah. Short but shocking. Obadiah's vision is about the condemnation that would come on Edom, for not seeing the Israelites helped when they were attacked by enemy nations, but instead stood apart, indifferent and doing nothing for them. The Edomites even robbed the Israelites after the enemy had defeated them (Obadiah 1:11).
