Nahum 1-3

There’s no need to get too deep here. Too often, people have an unhealthy opinion about the nature of God. Many people think that because He is all loving, He is incapable of punishment and wrath. These verses illustrate clearly, what God is capable of doing, and why He does it.

“…The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and maintains his wrath against his enemies. ” Nahum 1:2

But…

“The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him, but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh ; he will pursue his foes into darkness. Nahum 1:7

Let’s not take His goodness for granted.
