“I am against you,” declares the Lord Almighty.

Nahum 3

“I am against you,” declares the Lord Almighty. v5

The Lord is certainly Almighty...He is worthy is our worship because of this.  He knows all about us, and nothing is hidden from Him.  And because we are fallen, we are deserving of death:

The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death. Proverbs 10:16

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23


Yet God is full of love, compassion and mercy for us.  He died for us and gave us the GIFT of eternal life.  We did not deserve it yet He gave His life for us...freely..  Yes, God is all powerful so we should worship Him.  Yet we should worship Him because He is also full of love, compassion, and mercy for us.  What a great God we have!

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are indeed a great God!  I see Your greatness all around me every day.  That You love me is amazing.  You don't even need me...I am broken and I sin.  I am not worthy of such love.  I thank You that You love me anyway, but please forgive me for my sin...one of which is my worry.  I know I need to place all of my trust and faith in You.  Help me Lord.  Help me be effective and productive with my school work and help me not worry.
