Nahum closes by warning that when God exposes the true foundations of human power, collapse is not just deserved it is also unavoidable.

The future of God’s people is secure because the destruction of God’s enemies is assured.

Because of who the Lord is, he will judge injustice and become a refuge for those who trust him.

God sovereignly preserves his people through unseen means, even through unlikely, hesitant and imperfect servants.

The love shared between lovers can be profoundly passionate and powerful – and is therefore something to be received with delight and handled with reverent care.

Life and death can only make sense when we fear God and rejoice in his good gift of life.

Under God’s judgement, His people give voice to their grief, complain honestly to Him, and cling to hope in His mercy – even in the dark.

In his kindness, God brings us from emptiness to fullness of life through Jesus our redeemer.

Rejoice in the Father who gives the greatest gift – changing us from slaves to sons graciously through faith in Jesus.

Christians must press on in public godliness to reflect the salvation we have in Christ, which is proof that God is good, kind, loving, and merciful.
