🛑📌 When Wicked Plans Are Formed, God Still Reigns

Nahum 1:11 (ESV)
“From you came one who plotted evil against the LORD, one who counseled villainy.”

There is a sobering truth in this verse: evil does not only appear in actions—it often begins in planning, in counsel, in quiet agreements that oppose God’s will. Nahum speaks to Nineveh, a powerful city known for violence and oppression, and God makes it plain that He is not unaware of what has been devised.

This is a reminder for today: God sees what is hidden. He knows what is being whispered, what is being coordinated, and what is being set into motion behind the scenes. When people attempt to plot against what is right, or when wicked counsel is offered as “strategy,” the Lord is still on the throne.

This verse also calls for personal reflection. It is wise to ask:

• Am I seeking counsel that honors God, or counsel that excuses what God has already made clear?

• Have I allowed anger, fear, pride, or ambition to shape plans that are not aligned with the Lord?

• Am I praying with discernment over decisions, relationships, and direction?

God does not ask His people to live suspicious or anxious—but He does call us to live awake, prayerful, and anchored in truth. When we stay close to Him, He strengthens our discernment and keeps us from being drawn into ungodly motives or influences.
