Nahum 1:7 –  “The LORD is good, a great help in the day of trouble; AND He knows those who trust Him.”

As I read this passage, my heart was immediately gripped by a good theme: God is Good!   In our Western mentality, that is incredibly weak.  Good in the context of God is nothing like our usual understanding of good.  We have good food, good visits, good times, etc.   But when we focus on God, His goodness embraces and embodies all He is.   He is the ultimate GOOD!

That Good God (not an epithet) but a recognition of His fullness and love helps us.   We all face trouble.  We are all under satanic attacks.  We call face difficulty.  The Living Good God is our Great Help in our day of trouble.

“AND”  That is an important connector.   “AND” that Good God who helps us in trouble Knows those who Trust Him.   “Knows” is a term of intimacy or deep relationship and fellowship.   He knows (penetrates our hearts) with His person.   That is transformational and revelatory.

Habakkuk 2:14 reminds us that the day will come for the seekers of God who Trust Him when the earth will be filled with the Knowledge of The Glory of the LORD.   It is not knowledge of who God is but awareness of His Glory. 

Why is that important?  It reveals that there is a level of spiritual growth and fellowship where we understand God’s Glory and become manifestations of it.   We become Kingdom Kids.  We live in a state of consciousness of God’s Goodness, Grace, Power, and Purpose.   We live fearless lives manifesting Radical Normal Christianity.   We bring the Kingdom into our present and impact everyone and everything around us.

Remember that the devil is not in charge.  You are!  Jesus said you are!  Therefore, Why Not Now?   Why live beneath our designated position in Him?  Why not enforce Calvary’s Victory Today?   It is Who You Are!

Have a wonderful day basking in the sunlight of God’s love!
