"So
the captain approached him and said, 'How is it that you are sleeping? Get up,
call on your god. Perhaps your god will be concerned about us so that we will
not perish.'"
It's
possible that even a man of God could be sleeping in sin. That's why we need one
another to help us wake up when we find ourselves snoring in sin!

"Then
the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land."
God
can deliver us from the mess of our own doing!

"When
the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his
robe from him, covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes."
Hmm!
We can't afford to think that Modiji or Yogi or Amit Shah doesn't need to hear
the Gospel. Perhaps they will be like this king of Nineveh!

"Should
I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than
120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left
hand, as well as many animals?"
God
is a compassionate God. That's the virtue I desire to see more in me!
