Nahum 1:5

In this 3-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson teaches through the book of Nahum. This plan will encourage you to trust in God’s good judgment, even in the midst of challenging times.

A century following Jonah’s proclamation of judgment and Nineveh’s repentance, Nineveh once again fell into sin. Nahum consoles Israel by prophesying the destruction of Nineveh and all of Assyria for the devastation they brought to God’s people. The prophecies in Nahum remind us that God Himself is not aloof or disinterested; rather, He is the Lord of history. He builds and destroys empires according to His good purposes.

This devotional reading plan pairs vivid artwork with Scripture to bring to life the storm-tossed moments when Jesus calmed the sea. Each day invites reflection on masterworks that capture both the chaos of the waves and the peace of the Savior’s command. As you consider the disciples’ fear, God’s sovereignty, and the hope found in Christ’s presence, you’ll be encouraged to anchor your faith in Him. Engaging your eyes, heart, and spirit, this journey reminds you that the One who speaks, “Peace! Be still!” still commands the winds and waves today.

Have you ever experienced a season of waiting, praying, hoping, yet not seeing? You start to wonder if God can do it. Maybe you question if you deserve the answer to your prayer. Yet something within your soul says, don’t give up. Don’t stop praying. God is working. Reading the story of Elijah, we will learn to pray with expectation until we see the cloud in the clear blue sky.
