Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it;
for their wickedness has come up before Me.
Jonah 1.2
Lessons from Jonah:
God doesn't always pick nice people. vv. 1-3
Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
You cannot get away from God. v. 4
The LORD sent out a great wind on the sea.
Do not try to defy God. v. 12
Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that
this great tempest is because of me.
God shows mercy. vv. 15, 17
The LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah.
Take Away Prayer-
Lord, remind me that you are in charge, and that you can use me. Conform my desires to your will that I- and others- might receive your mercy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
