Today’s Daily Devotion: The Lord Is Good, A Refuge In Times Of Trouble, He Cares For Those Who Trust In Him

Nahum 1

1 A prophecy concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh

2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies.

3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; he makes all the rivers run dry.Bashan and Carmel wither and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.

5 The mountains quake before him
and the hills melt away.
The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it.

6 Who can withstand his indignation?
Who can endure his fierce anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire;the rocks are shattered before him.

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

8 but with an overwhelming flood
he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.
