Good News On A Bad Day
Good news on a bad day! God will take care of His people even on a bad day. The Good news is that God remains a strong refuge for all who trust in Him, and His power brings judgment to His enemies.
Payday judgement is coming! They (scoffers: laugh, make fun, celebrate Godly peoples’ death) will bow down to the Lord Jesus one day.
God will fight for you. God is a strong God, Great in power. Jesus is great in mercy. He is too big to fail. As long as you’re God’s and He is in control you will be all right. The Lord is absolutely and always good. He’s a stronghold, fortress, shelter, merciful and slow to anger. He knows whos trusting Him. Trust in Him in all times – He knows what you are going through.

God’s Mercy and Judgment
1 The [a]burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
God’s Wrath on His Enemies
2 God is jealous, and the Lord avenges;
The Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
3 The Lord is slow to anger and great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.
The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth [b]heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
6 Who can stand before His indignation?
And who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.
7 The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble;
And He knows those who trust in Him.
Romans 12:19 (NKJV) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
