When Strength Collapses

Nahum’s picture of emptiness, trembling knees, and darkened faces shows how quickly human power can crumble under God’s judgment. What seemed secure becomes waste when it stands against Him. This verse invites sober humility: do not build life on pride, violence, or self-confidence. Run instead to the Lord, whose mercy shelters the repentant and whose righteousness will finally expose every false refuge.
