Naum 1:7-8 is an excerpt from the Bible that talks about God’s faithfulness, even in the midst of chaos. Nahum was an Old Testament prophet who prophesied the fall of the city of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. Nahum begins chapter 1 by talking about God’s wrath and the destruction that will come to Nineveh, but then he talks about God’s faithfulness in the midst of chaos.
Verse 7 says, “The Lord is good, he is a strength in the day of trouble, and he knows those who trust in him.” This means that even in the midst of difficulties, God is good and is present for those who trust in him. He is a stronghold, a safe haven for those who seek his protection.
Verse 8 continues: “But with an overflowing flood he will end up destroying his place and out of darkness he will pursue his enemies”. Here, Nahum is saying that while God is faithful in the midst of chaos, he is also a just God who judges evil. The destruction to come upon Nineveh was a result of the evil they had committed.
We can apply the message of Nahum 1:7-8 to our lives today. When we are going through difficult times, we can be sure that God is faithful and present for us. He is our stronghold and our safe haven. But at the same time, we must remember that God is just and judges evil. If we are living in disobedience to God, we need to repent and seek his grace and forgiveness.
Therefore, Naum 1:7-8 teaches us that God’s faithfulness is constant, even in the midst of chaos. We can trust him at all times and in all situations. He is our stronghold and our righteous judge, and we may rest in his grace and love.
