“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.”
Nahum 1:7
People in danger are always an interesting study. Take for example, the evening that violinist Isaac Stern was featured in a concert in Tel Aviv, Israel. The Persian Gulf war threatened the peace of the day yet thoughts of canceling the evening were put aside.
Sure enough, right in the middle of the concert, sirens began to wail, signaling an attack of Scud missiles. Concertgoers and members of the symphony rose to their feet and headed towards the nearest exit. Then Isaac Stern picked up his violin and requested the audience to be seated. The magnificent strains of a Bach prelude began to fill the air, and as a warm tones of the master’s violin filled the hall, people were quietly seated, and the concert went on. One observer wrote, “With his steady hand and lone violin, Stern demonstrated courage – and leadership.”
How do you respond to crisis? Is there an inner strength that helps you to remain steady in the storm? Or are you driven by fear and worry?
It was in a time of crisis, long ago, that a man cried out, “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him” (Nahum 1:7). Nahum lived at a time when the nations of the world were engaged in a deadly conflict. People wondered why God had forsaken them but Nahum learned to turn to the Lord for strength and help.
Have you experienced that calm in the time of stress? Go back to the Bible, friend, and learn of God’s care and concern in times of crisis.
God Bless YOU..
