You Have Beautiful Feet

Nahum 1-Part 5

LET IT GLOW

Did you get to see that Strawberry moon Monday night or Tuesday morning? About 5:30 I was up, looking for it. The orange moon appeared in my southwest sky, looking huge as it was going down behind the trees. How awesome is our God! At times we are reminded when extraordinary things happen around us. Remember to thank God for eyes to see and the reassurance He is still in control.

We found out that the prophets Nahum and Isaiah had warned Nineveh and the Assyrians if they didn't leave Judah alone, God was going to destroy them, plus their king. Because they did not heed the warnings, it happened. The divine lawn mower came and mowed them down, and not just 185,000. In the scheme of things, their king was weak compared to our God. 

About 20 years later, Sennacherib was killed by the sword of his two sons while he worshiped his false gods/idols. (681 BC) Then in 612 BC, Assyria was captured by Babylon. The Assyrian dynasty ended, just as God told them it would. (2 Kings 19-20) God keeps His Word, folks.

Judah was at peace and enjoyed their annual feasts, as well as regular religious festivals. Yet, we know later, they drifted into idolatry. And Babylon was sent to take them captive for 70 years. Through it all, there remained a remnant of faithful believers in God. Afterwards, Persia conquered Babylon and the remnant was sent back to Jerusalem to rebuild the city and the Temple. (There is your history lesson in a nutshell.)  :)

LET IT GROW

Do you have beautiful feet? I don't consider that I have beautiful feet, yet the Scriptures say so.

In Isaiah 52:7, NLT, we find: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! 

So you and I have beautiful feet when we take the Good News of salvation to others. That includes you who are Vacation Bible School and Sunday School sharing salvation through Jesus to children. (KJV says "preach," but I don't preach, since I am a woman; I just share and teach.)

Have a blessed day, friends.
