A Treasure In A Field Of Thorns

The LORD is good,
​​A stronghold in the day of trouble;
​​And He knows those who trust in Him.
  -- Nahum 1:7

Nahum did not have a vision of flowered fields with peacefully grazing sheep. Nope, old Nahum had to endure the vision of the armored division stomping Nineveh to ruins with iron shod feet and all the x-rated violence and humiliation one might imagine...three chapters of it. And in that gore and shameful exposure of a field of thorns stands one bright jewel of a verse. You may have heard this one before but never taken the time to read the rest of the story. And with good reason! The remainder of the story of Nahum's vision is a horror show! However, it is that one jewel shining in the darkness of this field that makes it all worth the purchase price. Read our verse for today once more and remember it when your day of trouble comes.

Good is the Lord our God!
