Nahum 1 God’s presence and actions Summary and Highlight
God’s presence induces actions towards
His people, his cause ..
against His enemies and opposition to His cause
Note that- Although God is slow to anger, He is a powerful avenger- No messing
around with Him
No Escape from God or outwitting Him
No commotion or power can overwhelm God -All creation responds to God’s
presence
God is an impenetrable defence
Being in God’s presence puts an end to opposition
God ends conspiracies and affliction- God causes conspirators, evil counsellors to
wilt away
He bursts His people out of oppression and prevents affliction
Deletes and buries dirty idolatrous brands and trademarks so you are not
exploited and deceived
Be encouraged- there is hope, keep on serving God and being upright
Don’t give in to pervasive practices, fear of oppressors and any form of calamity-
God’s presence brings deliverance and peace- Jesus the prince of peace is here to
give you rest John 16:33
