Nahum 1:1-13

"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him."
(Nahum 1:7)

IF you grew up during the years of the "cold war," you know the sobering fear of a nuclear exchange with other nations. That threat still exists along with other horrible realities of evil that could destroy our world. Nahum writes about God's judgment upon such evil and also that God has established boundaries and rules for living. When man violates those rules, there will be judgment. God reminds us that ultimately justice will be served; He will settle all accounts.

Tucked within these words of warning are words of hope. When the outlook is bleak, Nahum reminds us that God is good, He is a refuge, and He cares. Putting our trust in Him gives us hope.

I sat with a despondent police officer. It was discovered that while on duty he had taken the bullets out of his weapon, hoping a criminal might take his life instead. Over many months of coffee and talking, one evening I just said, "There is nowhere else to go but to God."-
And he did! Our Helper and Rescuer is right at hand.
