Today’s Key Verse: Nahum 3:7b
‘Nineveh lies in ruins! Who has any sympathy for her? Who will want to comfort her?’
Reflect
What images are included in today’s reading to describe Nineveh’s demise? Reread verse 19. Why is there “no remedy” for the city’s injuries? Overall, what are your thoughts about the readings these past three days from this short prophetic book? What stands out in your mind?
Pray
Loving and gracious God, look upon all who live this day under the threat of terror and oppression. Heal divisions among us; open my eyes to inequality, and help me to strive for justice and peace. Amen.
