1. This message concerning Nineveh came as a vision to Nahum, who lived in Elkosh.

The LORD'S Anger against Nineveh

2. The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and continues to rage against his enemies!
3. The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.
4. At his command the oceans dry up, and the rivers disappear. The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wither.
5. In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed.
6. Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.

7. The LORD is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him.
8. But he will sweep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will  pursue his foes into the darkness of night.

9. Why are you scheming against the LORD? He will destroy you with one blow; he won't need to strike twice!
10. His enemies, tangled like thorn bushes and staggering like drunks, will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
11. Who is this wicked counselor of yours who plots evil against the LORD?

12. This is what the LORD says: "Though the Assyrians have many allies, they will be destroyed and disappear. O my people, I have punished you before, But I will not punish you again.
13. Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression."

14. And this is what the LORD says concerning the Assyrians in Nineveh: "You will have no more children to carry on your name. I will destroy all the idols in the temples of your gods. I am preparing a grave for you because you are despicable!"

15. "Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is bringing a message of peace. Celebrate your festivals, O people of Judah, and fulfill all your vows, for your wicked enemies will never invade your land again. They will be completely destroyed.
Nahum 1:1-15 NLT

7th strategy.
Repetitive Reading

• Begin by getting your heart ready to receive the words that God has laid down for us on this page. Ask Him to give you what you need to hear. Ask Him to give you the mind of Christ to be able to remember this strategy and continue it throughout the day.
• Read the passage completely. Ask God to give you one verse that resonates in your heart today.
• Write the verse down on a pad of paper, sticky note, or even on your phone in notes or your calendar.
• Pray and ask God to give you a number of times to repeat this verse throughout the day. Write that number underneath the verse.
• Or ask Him if it would be better for you to read and repeat the verse three times and then do that again later in the day. Asking how many times to have this little repetitive session and writing that down under the verse.
• Every time you repeat the verse mark a tally under the verse.
• Do this throughout the day. Try to reach your set goal or above it.
• At the end of the day attempt to speak the verse without looking at it.
• Before bed repeat the verse again either rereading it off of the paper, or quoting it from memory. Either is a glory to God.
• And remember, God gleans great pleasure when you stop and thank Him for being with your throughout your day.
