Nahum 1:7 AMPC
Blessings in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach!
The Lord is good, a Strength and Stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows (recognizes, has knowledge of, and understands) those who take refuge and trust in Him. [Ps. 1:6; Hos. 13:5; John 10:14, 27.]
God's Goodness: The verse begins with the affirmation that "The Lord is good." This highlights God's inherent nature as benevolent and faithful, providing hope and comfort even in difficult times.
Stronghold in Times of Trouble: The phrase "a stronghold in the day of trouble" portrays God as a protective fortress. This imagery suggests that believers can find safety and security in Him during life's challenges and adversities.
Adonai has Intimate Knowledge of Believers: The latter part of the verse, "he knoweth them that trust in him," emphasizes God's personal relationship with those who place their faith in Him. This indicates that God is aware of and cares for those who seek refuge in Him, reinforcing the idea of His active involvement in their lives.
Nahum 1:7 serves as a powerful reminder of God's unwavering support and protection. In contemporary life, many face various forms of trouble, whether personal, financial, or emotional.
This verse encourages believers to trust in God's goodness and to seek Him as a refuge during challenging times. It reassures us that we are known and cared for by God, who is always present to provide strength and comfort.
Shalom
