God is so good to us. But do we want him to be good to others? Jonah was glad that God had been merciful to him but was angry that he had been merciful to the Ninevites. God sends an object lesson to Jonah to show him there’s a real irony in that.
- We have no right to be angry with God for being God.
- Too many of us get upset because others experience the goodness of God which we so willingly accept ourselves.
- God, slow to anger, seeks to reason with Jonah rather than punish him.
- Too often our anger stems from our affection being directed in the wrong places.
- We get upset about others receiving blessings that we don’t think they deserve while ignoring the blessings we have received that we didn’t deserve either.
