Friday – Prophets

Reading – Nahum 1

Highlight Verse:

“Yet Thebes fell, and her people were led away as captives. Her babies were dashed to death against the stones of the streets. Soldiers threw dice to get Egyptian officers as servants. All their leaders were bound in chains.”
‭‭Nahum‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

For about a year when I was in middle school, I lived in a small cheap 2 bedroom apartment in San Mateo, CA. In the apartment next door, which was the same size as our little 2-bedroom place, there lived a family of about 8.

The eldest member was a former general of the Persian Army.

Yes, the same army that was ousted by the Shah of Iran in the late 70’s.

They survived, but their family status did not.

Their situation changed overnight.

So did Thebes.

Conquered overnight.

Nahum predicts the same devastation to come upon Nineva, the capitol of Assyria.

We can expect the same if our nation continues its slide away from God.

What can you and I do to help steer our nation back to God?
Can you join me in praying for revival to sweep across our nation.
