I Will Trust In The Lord

Nahum 1:7 New Revised Standard Version… “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him…”

Introduction: The act of trusting in someone/something can either be negative (costing happiness) or positive (causing happiness).

Transition: Nahum is a minor prophet with a major message, that is addressed to Israel but Nineveh is the subject.

Exposition: Our text offers three reasons that should convince us to trust in the Lord…

–Because of God’s Stellar Reputation (The Lord is good)

–Because God is a Strong Refuge (a refuge in times of trouble)

–Because of our Storied Relationship (He cares for those who trust in him)

Conclusion: Life’s problems won’t scare you, when you know the answer!
