Read Nahum chapter 1

VERSE:

Nahum 1:7–The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.

TRUTH:

In the midst of this chapter full of pronouncements of destruction and judgment for wrong, this statement is made. It contrasts so sharply with the idea that if we trust God, He will reveal His true nature to us, He will care for us, He will be a refuge for us, and he is good. On the other hand, it we don’t trust God or follow God, the He will reveal His trust nature to us. He is good and as a result, He must judge everything that isn’t up to His standards of holiness and righteousness. In each case, God is who He is and His nature doesn’t change. The only change is our response to Him. How will we respond today. God is good and He does care for and protect those who trust in Him. Will we trust in Him?

RESPONSE:

Father, You are who You are and I praise You for being consistent. Thank You for all that You are doing and have done for me. I will trust in You no matter the trouble and trials I go through because I know that You will never change who You are. I love You and will hold tight to You, for You are my reuge during times of trouble.
