Friday – Prophets

Reading – Jonah 3-4

Highlight Verse:

“Then God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry because the plant died?” “Yes,” Jonah retorted, “even angry enough to die!””
‭‭Jonah‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Jonah had anger issues.

Last week we saw that he was so angry at the Assyrians that he didn’t want to warn them about the wrath of God.

Today he got angry at God for letting a plant die.

But…

Don’t miss this…

God used Jonah to save 120 thousand people!

We all have our faults.

We shouldn’t ignore them and should be striving to improve ourselves our whole lives long.

But we should never think that God can’t use us because we aren’t perfect!

God uses imperfect people because that’s what He has to work with.

If He didn’t use imperfect people, nothing would ever get done.

Is there anything you’ve been putting off or a call that you’ve been ignoring because you think you’re not good enough?
If you were good enough, what could God do through you?
Are you willing to let Him do that through you anyway? He can you know.
