Trust in the Lord

I have gone through some personal challenges over the last year, and the story of Jonah comes to mind. I think that most adult Christians don’t apply that lesson to ourselves, because it is a story that generally gets relegated to children’s church and Sunday school classes–there is something cartoon-like about a big fish story. But Jonah was an adult who ignored God and lived to learn a lesson from it. Even if we aren’t all called to spread God’s word the way Jonah was, I think a lot of adult Christians have ignored God’s plans for our lives.

Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him…

That verse is in the middle of a bunch of doom and disaster warnings against those who do not live according to God’s instructions, and do I not know personally how much the Lord is good and a refuge in times of trouble? Do I not know how much He cares for those who trust in Him? Definitely not something I should be keeping to myself!
