Jonah is amazing to me. He is part of some of the most dramatic events in the entire Bible. God calls Jonah to take a message to Nineveh. When Jonah was ready to run, when Jonah was ready to quit, God sent a storm and a big fish to show Jonah how transformation works. On the heels of a near death experience, Jonah gets new life and a new attitude. He gets to follow God into Nineveh and witness how God dramatically changes lives. Repentance flows from the king on the throne to the cattle in the field. An entire city surrenders to God. Jonah watches as God’s hands shape the hearts of these Assyrian people, and then Jonah pouts. He sits down. He quits. From what we know, Jonah finished in a terrible place. Unrepentant, unhappy, and unwilling to see the power of God at work in the world. I don’t ever want to miss what God is doing. Jonah is a good reminder to keep my eyes open. God is moving.
