VERSE OF THE WEEK
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him. – Nahum 1:7
He Holds Everything Together
Humans have a tendency to focus on the wrong things. Difficult times come and even Christians will wring their hands and ask why. As He did with the other prophets, the Lord gave a special vision to Nahum to see the deeper and more complex things of God. In today’s verse, the prophet encouraged the people of Nineveh to understand how good the Lord is. As believers, we need to spend time meditating on God’s goodness and just how much good He bestows on each of us. The Lord knows who takes refuge in Him; how will you run to Him in the day of trouble if you don’t understand what He offers you? He holds the depths of the sea in His hand and the mountains belong to Him (Psalm 95:4) Thank the Lord and praise Him today, for He is still good and will act in righteousness.
