Nahum

Two hours before I planned to wake, the Holy Spirit guided me from bed to a history lesson. It’s an interesting contrast to the spiritual lesson yesterday in the Book of John.

Nahum 1:3 was my flip of the day. At first glance, God’s wrath and judgement jumps off the page. Study notes point out that God gives us time to come to him. Scripture points out he will comfort us. Still, my human hurt and heart found joy in knowing He will take care of all oppressive *Redacted* problems. I needed to work through to the place where my focus was strictly on how He takes care of EVERYTHING.

However, as I dived in deep to the history of Ninevah, it was easy to see the truth of God’s Holy Word. Historians and archaeologists agree Ninevah once contained 100-150k people. Jonah puts the number at 120k in The Bible. Scripture speaks to how Ninevah would fall and it fell according to the Word about fifty years after Nahum wrote the prophecy.

Thank you, Father God, for history lessons and ALL you are doing in every aspect of our lives. I love you.
