Naum̃u 1:2

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.

Life isn’t always fair — but God is. In the book of Nahum, God promises His people that He will deal with evil, bring justice, and restore hope. This 5-day plan will walk you through God’s justice, mercy, and holiness, and show how Jesus makes a way for us to live with peace instead of fear. If you’ve ever wondered whether God sees the wrongs in the world, Nahum is a powerful reminder that He does, and He makes all things right.
