When Nahum wrote that the Lord was good, it meant much more than just showing us kindness. It stood for God’s benevolence for our wellbeing and His desire for the ultimate plan & purpose of our life to be played out in our lifetime. That’s because, “God knows the way of the righteous.” (Psalm 1:6) So whether we take His way or the other, all is determined by our relationship with Him and where our trust can be found.
