Description
Tempted to run away from it all? Fed up with the constant battle between self-interest and God's agenda? Struggling to understand painful circumstances? There is nothing new under the sun. Even a mature believer and prophet like Jonah experienced these things.
Facing an assignment equivalent to being sent to warn notorious terrorists of God's anger with them, perhaps it was no wonder that Jonah ran away - certainly portrayed in Scripture as no super saint, he avoided God and His call on his life. Yet God turned the situation around as pagan sailors encountered the living God who made the land and sea and the entire population of a city realised that although they deserved to be wiped off the face of the earth, there was a God of compassion and mercy who forgave them. God's mercy is greater than our failures and through adverse circumstances and pain, a character of Christ-like compassion is chiselled out.
