Nahum 1:7
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Nahum declares that the Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who trust in Him.
God's goodness shines especially in trouble, when we need a stronghold. He doesn't just observe our difficulties from distance but knows intimately those who trust Him. His provision in hard times includes both protection (stronghold) and personal care (knowing us). This combination of strength and intimacy characterizes God's faithful provision.
