Psalm 132 recalls the heart of David to build a "dwelling place" for the Lord.  A place of worship, a resting place. This place is chosen and desired by the Lord, verse 13 tells us.  A place where the Son of David will reign.   "Let us worship at His footstool." v 7 tells us.  O come Lord Jesus!

Nahum tells of the judgement against Nineveh/ Assyria. This was located in modern day Iraq, next to the Tigris River.  Nineveh had repented during the time of  Jonah, but had turned back to wicked living in the years that followed.  Nahum begins this oracle by reminding the people of Who God is.
He is a "jealous and avenging God". " He is slow to anger and great in power, And the Lord will by no means leave the guilty unpunished."
He walks in whirlwinds and storms, clouds are like dust beneath His feet, mountains quake, hills dissolve, and the earth heaves.  This is our Great God. The Lord God Almighty! Nahum reminds them that the "Lord is good".  This reflects the Lord's own description of Himself given to Moses on the mountain.  Exodus 34:6-7  " The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished..."
Judah needed to be reminded of Who God is and that He would not forsake them.  He was bringing judgement against Assyria and Nineveh, its capital would be completely ruined.  Their armies could not stop God, their numbers would not stop God, because they were wicked and would not repent, judgement would come.  This is Truth. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  He is slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, but He will not leave the guilty unpunished.  Psalm 145:20
"The Lord keeps all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy."
Merciful and gracious God, bring repentance to our land!  Oh may we turn back to the Truth, to righteousness and to seeking You.  We need You now.  Help us I pray. Amen.
