Most of us are familiar with the story of Jonah, especially the part about the whale. Jonah was a prophet who refused the Lord’s command to go to Nineveh and instead boarded a ship headed in the opposite direction. While Jonah could run, he could not hide from God. When the ship encountered a storm, Jonah was tossed into the sea (1:12). And, sure enough, when he was thrown overboard, “the raging sea grew calm” (1:15). In the middle of the sea, Jonah came to the realization that his life was going to end unless he submitted himself to the Lord. The Lord provided a way for Jonah not only to be transported to Nineveh but also an opportunity to cry out to the Lord. Jonah 2:1 tells us that “[f]rom inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.” Jonah’s prayer is a psalm of thanksgiving for deliverance. While clinging to life, Scripture was on his mind. In his prayer, he recites the psalms at least three times (Ps. 18:6; 111:5; 120:1). God’s Word was the foundation of his prayer, and it ought to be ours as well. Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes, “The richness of God’s Word ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart.” Jonah testifies to God’s deliverance in verses 3 to 7 in what appears to be almost a play-by-play account of what happened. It climaxes in verse 7 when he finally surrendered his life to the Lord’s will. He realized that he had been clinging to the worthless idol of selfishness and safety. In doing so, he was turning from the grace of God’s love available to all (vv. 8–10). Thankfully, he realized: “Salvation comes from the LORD” (v. 9), and the Lord provided a way for him to share that with the world. >> Make sure your prayers are soaked in Scripture. When God’s Word is on your heart and mind, it will also be in your prayers.
Jonah is back in the studio with Jacob. While Jonah tells the story about killer meth heads, Jacob got to be an auctioneer this weekend.

While Jonah is front and center in the book named after him, it is Nineveh which stands in the background as the catalyst. This wicked city was the object of God's grace, and He used Jonah to reach them; but there were some complications. Nineveh's story teaches us much about God--and ourselves.

Jonah is really a book about God! While Jonah is often considered a "hero" in children's literature, he really was the reluctant prophet. The greatness of this story is how God does great things despite Jonah. God is willing to save even when we don't think people are worth saving.

While Jonah was sent from the Northern Kingdom to Assyria. Amos was sent from Judah to the North. His message is heard to hear. In fact, they tell him to leave. His words are direct and hard to hear, but often those words are the words that save lives.
While Jonah desired to escape God at the beginning of the story, he now realizes that God is his only hope. How many times can we identify with this feeling. Sin always causes us to realize that once it’s false promises are made apparent, God is the only One who has never let us down.

Jonah Series - One Angry Prophet Jonah 4 Jonah our antihero didn't have a heart for the city or the harvest that God wanted him to be part of. Of the 2 groups of people that God is trying to redeem and restore (Ninevah and Jonah), Jonah is the hardest. While Jonah acknowledges God’s character and grace, he wants no part of it. He is an angry man, caught in his own bitterness and hurt. The anger in him that has simmered against these people has ironically been exposed and brought to light by God’s grace for these people. From avoidance of his call and passive aggressive reluctant obedience, he now displays classic signs of anger by separating himself, erupting verbally against God, becoming disproportionately irritated by little things and then wishing he was dead. Grace is the cause of Jonah's anger. Yet grace is the power to live above anger. Video of 'Let Go' audio heard in podcast can be seen at the JourneBox website by clicking Here Link to Study Here
