Nahum 1:7 says, “The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.”

I love how straight and steady that is. The Lord’s goodness isn’t up for debate. It’s not seasonal, it’s not situational, and it’s not fragile. Nahum wrote these words in the middle of a world gone wild, and he wanted God’s people to remember—when the storm rolls in and the ground shakes under your feet, God is still your stronghold.

A stronghold is more than a hiding place—it’s a fortress that can’t be shaken. Trouble may be pounding on the gate of your life right now, but inside His walls, there is safety, peace, and strength. And here’s the part that warms my heart—He knows those who trust Him. That means He knows your name, your story, and your struggle. He hasn’t forgotten you, and He’s not about to start now.

So, friend, whatever you’re facing today, lean in. Trust Him. The world may not feel steady, but the One who holds you never wobbles. Stay in the stronghold—and let His goodness be your shelter.
