"This is a revelation from the Lord ..." (Nahum 1:1). What a wonderful
start to this prophecy! "The Lord is patient and has great strength"
(Nahum 1:3). Where does such knowledge of God come from? It comes from
the revelation of God. It is revealed to us. It is the Word that comes
to us from the Lord. It is the Word that is given to us by the Lord.
"The Lord is good. He is a fortress in the day of trouble" (Nahum 1:7).
Do we come to this faith by way of our unaided reason? or Is such faith
given to us by the Lord? The way to faith is the way of revelation.
"What do you think about the Lord?" (Nahum 1:9). This is a challenging
question. True thoughts about the Lord are given to us by the Lord
Himself. Fake thoughts come from our own minds. We think that we know
God, until God comes to us and shows us that we are far from Him, and we
need to be saved by Him. We need to have our minds renewed by Him.
"This is what the Lord says" (Nahum 1:12). Learning to listen to the
Lord is more important than anything else.
