Challenge: Jonah was very upset that God showed mercy to the people of Nineveh. He wanted God to destroy them. Yes, Jonah had no problem receiving God’s grace repeatedly. We judge others based on their actions, but ourselves based on our intentions. We start comparing sins and we always come out deserving grace, but not them. When we think God agrees with us all the time, we can be certain we’ve created God in our own image. God’s mercy and grace is not dependent on our preference, bu is available to everyone. Who can you show grace to this week? Jonah, Chapter 4

In many ways, Jonah is a book about the choices we make and God’s grace.
When Jonah chose to ignore God and run, everyone on the boat faced a storm.
When Jonah finally obeyed God, an entire city was given a second chance.
 
Our choices impact others. 
 
What choice will you make today that will impact others in a positive way?
How can your choice embrace God’s grace?
How might you extend a second chance to someone else?

The choice is yours.

While Jonah was placed on Time Out inside the belly of the fish,
he prayed to God a Psalm of Thanksgiving. 
 
Can you still praise and give thanks to God
even though you’re battling through a storm,
your life is in crisis, or you’re not where you want to be?
