Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.
This is such a 'strong' verse, don't you think? Why do we trust God? Because He is good!
We trust the good God so we can trust Him with confidence, knowing He is intrinsically good and we feel safe in that.
Then it reminds us that no matter what trouble we may have to face, we have somewhere and Someone to go to who is strong and who has a strong hold on us. He is our Stronghold, our Fortress. It's good to stop and think on that.
There is no one stronger than our God, no one who can defeat Him, no one who can outwit or out think Him. He is all powerful, all knowing, all present. He is never stressed, never confused, always has the answer and always knows what to do, and He loves us unconditionally - and this God is in us! How wonderful is that!!
Psalm 145:9 The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation...
v.13...The Lord always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does.
v..14 The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
v.17...He is filled with kindness.
v.18 The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes to all who call on him in truth.
King David who wrote this psalm, really knew his God and he wanted us to know Him like that too. We have such a wonderful Saviour, wonderful God and in our first verse in Nahum he reminds us that God knows us who trust Him too.
Isn't that lovely. God is so good, He knows you and me and He has a strong hold on us. Thank You Lord.
