Jonah’s evasions, God’s confrontations
Ray Ortlund points out the sovereignty of God displayed in the experience of the unwilling prophet, Jonah. These things I have learned and am learning by experience, often painful.
The Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea. Jonah 1:4
The lot fell on Jonah. Jonah 1:7
The Lord appointed a great fish. Jonah 1:17
The word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time. Jonah 3:1
The Lord God appointed a plant. Jonah 4:6
God appointed a worm. Jonah 4:7
God appointed a scorching east wind. Jonah 4:8
The Lord has more ways of confronting me than I have ways of evading him.
By all means, consider chipping in . . .
