Don't Misunderstand


Nahum 1:7 KJV
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
People can so easily misunderstand God.

This text is found right in the middle of a pronouncement of judgment. Who can read verses 2-6 without sensing the anger of the Lord against a people? The Lord is good, but He is not indolent. God is kind, but He is not ignorant of the sin in this world.

This text does not mean that God will not fulfill the judgments He pronounces earlier.
This is an oasis
This is a shelter
This is a safe haven from the judgment about to come.


In the midst of the judgment that will most surely proceed, God is good and will be a stronghold; God knows and will protect all that trust in Him.
