Jewel Lake Trail - “The LORD is Good, a Refuge in Times of Trouble”

The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies. 

The LORD is slow to anger but great in power; the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet. 

He rebukes the sea and dries it up; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither and the blossoms of Lebanon fade. 

The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it. 

Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him. 

The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,

Nahum 1:2-7
