Nahum; his name means “comfort.” At first glance, the setting and the content of Nahum’s message might cause us to question God’s choice of a messenger. Comfort? Yet as God gives his message against blustering, intimidating enemies of his people, perspectives begin to emerge that enable us to live fruitful, contented lives. We have not been abandoned. Many of us living in trying times need to hear from this messenger. What is the key quality that we need to appropriate comfort in our lives when we are anything but comfortable? Read through the book before we meet. It’s not a comfortable read but it is a read that brings comfort. Rise to the challenge to find the keys in these three chapters.
God’s Wrath Against Nineveh The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies.” (Nahum 1:2 ESV)
