Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.
Leave to God tho order all thy ways,
And hope in Him, whate'er betide.
Thou 'lt find Him in the evil days
Thy all-sufficient strength and guide;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love,
Builds on the rock that nought can move.
G. Neumarck
I really like this verse. I don't read Nahum much, an old testament prophet. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I never read it. A minor OT prophet is not what I normally turn to for inspiration.
However, this verse means alot to me. I reminds that God is not going to abandon me, even in the day of trouble. That is comforting to know, because the rest of the book of Nahum describes the complete desolation of Judah, because they did not follow the Lord.
It is good to remember to TRUST the Lord, especially in the day of trouble.
