Jonah is a wonderful book for many reasons. One
reason is that we see God speak to Jonah and Jonah runs the other way. That is
not so wonderful. But God does not give up on Jonah. He manipulates the wind
and the sea and the ship and the sailors and the fish to get Jonah where Jonah
needs to be. He even speaks to Jonah a second time. And this time, Jonah
listens and does the Lord’s bidding.
Our
God is very kind. He is full of grace. He pursues us with His Spirit and turns
us around to see His face. The turning is repentance and when we do this, we
find His countenance softened and full of mercy. We are very pleased to be the
children of this God of second chances.
