When God Makes Things Right: A 5-Day Devotional on Nahumనమూనా

Have you ever been treated unfairly and wished someone would step in to set things right? That’s exactly what God was about to do in Nahum’s life.

The people of Nineveh (the capital of Assyria) had been cruel, violent, and oppressive for years. They weren’t just mean — they were brutal, conquering other nations and treating people with no mercy. Nahum’s message was clear: God had seen everything, and He wasn’t going to ignore it. God is slow to anger, but He is also just. He doesn’t let sin and evil go on forever.

This is good news, because it means He cares about justice. It also challenges us to trust Him instead of trying to take justice into our own hands. Do you see God as a just God? Do you trust God to deal with injustice?

Christ Connection

In 2 Corinthians 5:10, we see that Jesus is the righteous Judge who will make all things right. We know that we, as believers, we will be judged by Christ’s righteousness that has been given to us.

Ask

How can I trust Jesus’ justice in my life and the world?

Pray

Jesus, thank You that You see everything, even the things others try to hide. Thank You that You care about the times I’ve been hurt or treated unfairly. Help me to trust Your justice instead of trying to get revenge on my own. Give me peace knowing You are powerful and holy, and nothing escapes Your sight. Help me rest in Your perfect timing and believe that one day You will set all things right.
