Don't Lose What Is Already Good

Contributed by Ed Lu on Apr 21, 2023

Nahum whose name means comforter, chosen by God during a time of turmoil to deliver God’s verdict to the Assyrian empire straight into the heart of its capital - Nineveh. Isn’t it amazing when we choose to do what we are naturally good at, God uses us supernaturally to further advance His Kingdom?

I have been reading and meditating on the book of Nahum for our time today. It’s a book that’s easily lost, often ignored, hardly known, difficult to find, seldom turned (pages crisp) - some even describe it as “a hymn of hate” (NAC). Book about judgment and destruction, but don’t quit there, ...read more
