Nahum 1-2, Isaiah 52:13-15, 53, Revelation 6
What God said to me – People like to focus on My love and mercy – even My children. They don’t want to think about My wrath or anger or judgment. I chose Nahum to prophesy about My judgment of Assyria. His name means “comforter” and yet he was prophesying about wrath and destruction. You live in a world where it seems like evil is prevailing – where perverse people are elevated and successful – where the righteous are mocked and suppressed and defeated. But take comfort that it will not always be like this. “I AM” a God who will take vengeance on My adversaries and pour out My wrath on My enemies but “I AM” also slow to anger and give room for repentance and redemption. So, hold on no matter what is happening around you and in the world. Trust that My plan and My timing are perfect. I will not leave the guilty unpunished for long and I will come for you. Take comfort in this.
