Have you ever been completely humbled or amazed at what God has allowed you to do? One of the things that boggles my mind every time I dwell on it is that God invites us to be part of the work of the Kingdom of Heaven. Us, the broken, disobedient, stiff-necked people. Us, people like Jonah who run the other direction. God still invites us to be part of telling people about the love of Jesus. How absolutely amazing!
Even when Jonah run away, after he repents, God restores him and gives him another chance to go and do what God wanted him to do. Did it make it easier to go and give the message of God to the Ninevites? Probably not. But he was still offered that second chance, and this time he responded.
Here's the thing - Jonah still wasn't thrilled about the call he received from God. But God still used him.
Where are the places in our lives where we are given new opportunities to respond to the call of God and how are we going to respond?
