Huge Hope: Major Power in the Minor Prophetsنموونە

God is bigger.

That’s it. That’s the lesson. God is bigger.

What in your life seems daunting? What is the thing (or things) that feel like they’re going to tear you down or crush you under their feet?

God is bigger.

In today’s reading, we learn all about how big God really is, as the prophet Nahum borrows all kinds of metaphors from nature to drive home the point. Mountains quake, seas are dried up, hills melt, rocks are pulverized.

But in the middle of it all is this passage in verses 7 and 8:

“The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of trouble; he protects those who take refuge in him, even in a rushing flood.”

God is bigger. But God is also GOOD.

He isn’t just bigger than everything! He’s good! He’s BETTER than everything!

Which means there’s no evil, no adversary, no obstacle, no hindrance, no ANYTHING that can outdo the bigness or goodness of God. It just isn’t possible.

What big thing is looming in your life? God is bigger.

Rest in that truth today.
