God Is And God Knows – Part I

-March 27, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Thursday,

“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.”

Nahum is a book that shows God’s pronouncement of judgment on the city of Nineveh. God sent the prophet Jonah to Nineveh to proclaim God’s truth to all wicked, sinful people there. The king and all 120,000 inhabitants repented and God heard them, accepted them, and relented of His judgment on them.

(Nahum 1:7).

In the midst of judgment, today’s verse is found. The Ninevites received God’s mercy and grace. Fast forward about a hundred years and we find that they had forgotten their revival and turned back to their sinful and idolatrous ways.

The Lord is good to all of us and He is always merciful and gracious. As I have quoted before, “God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good.

Whether we go thru good times or bad times, He is good. He is a stronghold in the day of trouble. God is able and more than able to come to our rescue. The word stronghold is defined as, “a place that has been fortified so as to protect it against attack.” God is our refuge, our fortress, our deliverer.

The devil does his utmost to temp us, attack us, discourage us each and every day. He never quits or takes time off. God invites us to draw near and rely fully on Him.

Let us savor His goodness and rely on His power. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Tomorrow: God Knows Those Who Trust In Him.
