Grace for your spirit Then Jonah begin to go through the city one day's walk; and he cried out and said, "Yet forty days and Ninevah will be overthrown." Then the people of Ninevah believed in God; and they put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them. Jonah 3:4-5
Jonah was probably the worst preacher in history. He didn't want to go. He ran the other way. He only prayed when in deep trouble. When he had to go preach to his enemies, he only used eight words. When the people listened, they believed and repented. This made Jonah angry. Even with all his shortcomings and bad attitudes, when he got the word of God before these people, good things happened. We may think we are ineffective teachers. We may not have much trust that people will change and obey. Let's get the word of God before them and let the word do the work. What's the best way to get rid of an enemy? Convert them, and make them your friend.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
