The month of May includes the National Day of Prayer. This year's theme is: Prayer For Such A Time As This! with the key verse found in Nahum 1:7.
"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him."
When we look at the first chapter of Nahum, we see a warning about God's judgment. In fact, verse seven is the only positive thing said in the whole chapter. We don't have to look very far to find trouble. But in the midst of trouble, we find this verse.
God is our "refuge" in times of trouble. He is where we can go, not just to hide, but to find safety. A refuge provides safety from trouble, turmoil or natural disaster. When our circumstances seem overwhelming, God is our refuge and strength.
The second part of this verse reminds us that God cares for us. God loves and cares for YOU! We can rest in that. We can hope in that. We can trust in that. God sees what you are going through and He cares!!
Don't forget to pray for our nation on Thursday, May 6, and every day.
God bless you!
