Let Me Die part 2

Let Me Die part 2

Hello Friendly People,
       Our lives tell a story as we respond to God's nature and character. Let us not grow weary in well doing but finish this race with dignity, trust and hope flowing through us! Let us not waste time arguing our case with God- time is short! God will listen and sometimes even debate our grievances, but the time always comes when we must grow up and deal with our attitudes! My prayer for us all is that we submit so we don't have to endure the worms and scorching heat, or the blazing winds. The trials that can, if we aren't careful, dry up, uproot and wither the seeds God has planted in us.


Jonah 4
V1 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry.
V2 He prayed to the Lord, "O Lord, is this not what I said when I  was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish.


Do you see God this way?                                        I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from  sending calamity.

             .
V3 Now, O Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live." 
V4 But the Lord replied, "Have you any right to be angry?
V5 Jonah went out and sat at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city.
V6 Then the Lord God provided a vine and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the vine. 
V7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it withered. 
V8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's  head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, "It would be for me to die than to live."
V9 But God said to Jonah, " Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?"  "I do",  he said." I am angry enough to die."
V10But the Lord said, " You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight.
V11 But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?
