No Second Affliction
Text:
Nahum 1:9 – 13
We serve a jealous God who avenges for us and
delivers us from bondage. Though our God is slow to anger but when He is angry,
heaven and earth trembles. In spite of that, our God is good (Nahum 1:7). This
chapter of Nahum expresses God’s anger against Assyrians (Nineveh).
Here in our text, God asserted that He knows
all the plans of the people of Nineveh (Nahum 1:9). He searches and knows the
intents of our hearts too (1 Chronicles 29:8). Nahum told the Assyrians that
any attempt at resisting the All Powerful God is insane because He is not like
other opponents they have conquered. God protects His people (Isaiah 37:23 –
29).
Affliction shall not arise the second time has
Judah as the object of God’s blow (Nahum 1:12) and it refers to an end to their
punishment. This shows that our God is merciful and gracious. Have you been
under God’s punishment because of sin and disobedience, He is telling you today
that He has remembered mercy and will no longer allow that affliction again. He
says that you will not experience misfortune and failure again. That is God’s
assurance for you today. Trust Him to do it.

sure as God puts His children in the furnace, He will be in the furnace with
them” – Charles Spurgeon
