God of Mercy

Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

Jonah 1:9

Reading:

Jonah 1:1-3; 3:1-9

What do I do with God’s Word to me?

What do I do with God’s message through me?

Am I comfortable in God’s presence?

Which communities and peoples and “races” do not matter to me?

What risks and discomforts will I accept in order to declare God’s message?

Does God want me to attempt to effect Nineveh-type community change?

“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me” (Jonah 1:2).

[The Scriptures say in Jonah 3:3 -- So Jonah arose, and went...according to the word of the LORD]
