Takeaways:
A Heart of Anger
- Jonah’s anger came from a place of judgment and self-righteousness
- God was not operating the way Jonah thought He should. Jonah thought he knew better than God.
A Heart Lesson
- God is sovereign over creation, He decides when to give and when to take away. God brings the plant and He brings the worm.
- God was dealing with his heart and trying to help Jonah see that He needed to trust in God even though he didn’t understand His ways.
- It is for God to give and for God to take away.
- Stop putting yourself in the place of judgment; that belongs to God.
A Heart for People
- Jonah cared more about his personal comfort than other people.
- We won’t have a heart for people if we focus only on ourselves and our own personal comfort.
