Naum 1:4

In this 3-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson teaches through the book of Nahum. This plan will encourage you to trust in God’s good judgment, even in the midst of challenging times.

A century following Jonah’s proclamation of judgment and Nineveh’s repentance, Nineveh once again fell into sin. Nahum consoles Israel by prophesying the destruction of Nineveh and all of Assyria for the devastation they brought to God’s people. The prophecies in Nahum remind us that God Himself is not aloof or disinterested; rather, He is the Lord of history. He builds and destroys empires according to His good purposes.

This devotional reading plan pairs vivid artwork with Scripture to bring to life the storm-tossed moments when Jesus calmed the sea. Each day invites reflection on masterworks that capture both the chaos of the waves and the peace of the Savior’s command. As you consider the disciples’ fear, God’s sovereignty, and the hope found in Christ’s presence, you’ll be encouraged to anchor your faith in Him. Engaging your eyes, heart, and spirit, this journey reminds you that the One who speaks, “Peace! Be still!” still commands the winds and waves today.

Begin your journey through Nahum with clarity. On the first day, you will read a guided introduction alongside the opening chapter of Nahum. It explains God's message against Nineveh and the Assyrian Empire, reminding readers that He is both patient and just. You will encounter themes of judgment, justice, and God's faithfulness to His people. As you read, remember that Nahum is still being translated today so communities around the world can encounter God's Word in the language they understand best. This plan offers a clear starting point as you read Nahum.
