Good Morning,
Our Scripture reading today is Nahum 1:7, "The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him."
We can and should rejoice in the goodness of our God. Goodness does not have to mean receiving everything we want or need. The goodness of God is fulfilled simply in His presence. God is with us!
A reminder is also given in this verse that our troubles can be summed up in a day. God is our stronghold every day. He is faithful. He is dependable. “Remember that it is only a day; it is not a week, nor a month, and God will not permit the devil to add an extra hour to that day; it is a ‘day of trouble.’ There is an end to all our griefs” (Spurgeon).
Your friend,
Pastor
