Today’s Thought “Build the Walls!” G. Ward Nahum 1:2 A jealous and avenging God is the LORD; The LORD is avenging and wrathful. The LORD takes vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves wrath for His enemies. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Prophet Jonah being swallowed by a large fish for refusal to attend to a people seemingly so irretrievable, then afforded another chance (after his repentance) to cooperate, whereas he would witness a people (outside Israel) more receptive to the Almighty’s guidance than His chosen(?). A century later would witness another Prophet (Nahum), insisting those same Ninevites, having relied on their secure borders, would witness an utter annihilation (i.e., disappearance) of what was a fortified, prosperous city, because her inhabitants regressed to governing themselves; particularly after agreeing that God’s Power is Infinite. Preachers are preaching, but not about a sinfulness in mankind’s ordering his own steps and while all are not seemingly bad endeavors, it yet equals blatant disobedience. Many mock Holy God by an inconceivable notion that the same God thousands of years ago is without similar judgment. Preachers are preaching, but failing miserably to portray HIM as immutable (HE won’t change, we do.). How long does our nation have?
