Passage Read: Nahum 2 - Habakkuk 2
Meditation Verse: Nahum 3:7
Thought
The problem with being powerful enough to do whatever you want and treat people however you desire is that you make more enemies than friends. Indeed, no one is truly your friend. Those who act the part of the friend do so only to gain an advantage, to share in your wealth and power. They are not true friends. As soon as it becomes apparent that you cannot maintain your position and power, all friends will abandon you.

Passage Read: Micah 5 - Nahum 1
Meditation Verse: Nahum 1:3
Thought
The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in love and kindness, yet He will not leave the guilty unpunished. He will not acquit the guilty. Indeed, He either pays for the sin Himself through the sacrifice of His Son, or He remembers and calls to account the one who has not sought forgiveness. The guilty and unrepentant will be cast into Hell, eternally tormented. But those who confess and renounce their sin will be forgiven and saved.
