Nahum 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked… I. THE WAY OF GOD IS GENERALLY A HIDDEN ONE. When God works His wonders, He always conceals Himself. Even the motion of His feet causes clouds to arise. II. GREAT THINGS WITH US ARE LITTLE THINGS WITH GOD. What great things clouds are to us! Great things are they? Nay, they are only the dust of God's feet. III. THE MOST TERRIBLE THINGS IN NATURE HAVE NO TERROR TO THE CHILD OF GOD. Sometimes clouds are fearful things to mariners. But them is nothing terrible now, because it is only the dust of my Father's feet. IV. ALL THINGS IN NATURE ARE CALCULATED TO TERRIFY THE UNGODLY MAN. Sinner, hast thou ever seen the clouds as they roll along the sky! Those clouds are the dust of the feet of Jehovah. If these clouds are but the dust, what is He Himself? ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. |
