In the midst of his prophecy against Nineveh, the prophet Nahum gives three wonderful attributes of God. The first is God’s goodness. God is essentially good. He is goodness itself. Whatever good we know, it comes from God. Whatever goodness we have contemplated, He is best.

His absolute power is not corrupted because of His absolute goodness. The third attribute is God’s wisdom. “He knows.” What does God know? God is omniscient. He knows all. Yet, God has particular interest in “those who trust in Him.” He especially knows them.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
