TRUST Nahum 1:7-8

The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him, but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness. 

The LORD is good 
Jeremiah 33:10-11  "This is what the LORD says: 'You say about this place, "It is a desolate waste, without people or animals." Yet in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD, saying, "Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love endures forever." For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the LORD."

a refuge in times of trouble 
Jeremiah 17:17  Do not be a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
Psalm 46:1  God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Jeremiah 16:19-20  LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. Do people make their own gods? Yes, but they are not gods!"

he cares
Psalm 1:6  For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

for those who trust in him 
Psalm 22:9  Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother's breast.

but with an overwhelming flood 
Isaiah 8:6-8  "Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoices over Rezin and the son of Remaliah, therefore the Lord is about to bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates--the king of Assyria with all his pomp. It will over flow all its channels, run over all its banks and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it, passing through it and reaching up to the neck. Its outspread wings will cover the breadth of your land, Immanuel!"
Daniel 9:26  "After the sixty-two 'sevens', the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed."
