Exodus 6:14-7:25; Psalm 37:1-40; Acts 2:22-47
Jonah…cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God. Jonah 3:4-5
Jonah delivered the message, but our text says that the people believed God. From a natural perspective, we might think that the people would have reacted by asking, “Who is this foolish foreigner who is saying this in our streets?”. But God worked in their hearts and they recognized that the message was from God. May we never deliver a message to the lost that is our message, not God’s. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:8). We are privileged to deliver His message. —Ken Gross
May His beauty rest upon me, as I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel, seeing only Him. —Kate B. Wilkinson
