Today’s Word: The Lord is Slow To Anger

Nahum 1

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

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.

6 Who can withstand his indignation?

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,
