Praise The Lord Beloved. Happy Monday.
You know I’ve read the book of Jonah many times over the course of my life, but this morning the last few verses captured my attention. The last few verses show us that Jonah learns a very clear “strong” lesson about God’s grace and mercy. He couldn’t see it before because of the condition of his heart. God reminds Jonah that even though the Ninevites were living in spiritual darkness His mercy still played a part in bringing them back from that darkness. Jonah wasn’t looking at the big picture.
Beloved, there are times when we, as humans, forget about the big picture. We get so wrapped up in the specifics of the effective criteria we’re involved with that we don’t see what’s at the heart of the matter. Just as God used this experience to teach Jonah to see past his own desires, God can do the same for us today. There’s undeniably a big picture, and with God’s help, we can see it too.
Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊
Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, I know that there are times all I can see is what’s right in front of me. As I continue to grow in my faith, I pray that You’ll show me just how big the picture truly is and that You’ll help me hold on to it. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Aaamen.
