Genesis 24:1-67; Job 29:1-30:31; Matthew 13:1-23

And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time. Jonah 3:1

The first two chapters of Jonah give factual details as to how God turned him back to Ninevah. The last two chapters enlighten us as to how God changed Jonah’s inner attitude. What we discover is that God wants us to do His will, not by force, but with a willing heart. In essence, His desire is for us to be like Him, not just to obey Him. To turn Jonah toward Nineveh, God sent the storm and the great fish. To turn him from his anger and hardheartedness, God sent the plant and the worm. What is He using to turn you? Are you listening? —Shane Johnson

I want to do Thy will O Lord, take me, break me, hold me and make me,
I want to do Thy will O Lord; I want to do Thy will O Lord! —D. Reeves
