Who is God? Day 2

God is good. Read Nahum chapter 1, focusing on verses 4-11.

As you read through these verses, we see a lot about God. He is bringing judgment and wrath. The mountains and hills shake before him. His anger pours out like fire. And then we read verse 7.

Verse 7 seems to stick out oddly in the middle of those verses. This verse tells us that God is good and will rescue those who come to him. In the midst of all these verses about judgment and destruction, it seems a bit out of place. However, this tells us a lot about who God is. God is just. God will punish sin. He is holy and has no choice.

However, for those who come to him in repentance, he has an abundance of mercy. This reminds us that if we are experiencing the judgment of God, it’s because we chose not to ask for his mercy. If we would ask for his mercy, he would give it. If we repent, he will forgive. These are promises that we can guarantee.

However, if we don’t do those things, God will move in judgment. And, the wrath and judgment of God is truly terrible to behold. God is a good God and we can trust in that. Do we trust him, ask for his mercy, and request his forgiveness?
