2 Chronicles 5:1-6:11; Ezekiel 29:1-30:19; John 11:1-27
It displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. Jonah 4:1
Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry? Jonah 4:4
Jonah’s anger was rooted in God’s unwillingness to bring judgment upon the Ninevites. Even though they had turned
from their wicked ways, Jonah was frustrated with God as he would have preferred judgment to have fallen. When we become dissatisfied with God’s ways and workings in and through us, we need to be challenged about our attitude in the same way God challenged Jonah, learning afresh this truth “As for God, his way is perfect” (Psalm 18:30). —Philip A. Kaye
Thy will, O Lord, not mine, teach me to say:
Not my will, Lord, but Thine, I would obey;
Then shall I know the joy and Thy name glorify.
When I, on earth, shall try to follow Thee. —Elizabeth Frazer
