Jonah Pt. 10 Our Need for Mercy
In this devotional, we return to Jonah Chapter 2—where the prodigal prophet prays from the belly of the great fish. Jonah’s prayer is raw, imperfect, yet acknowledges his desperate need for God’s mercy. But here’s the tension: Jonah depends on the very mercy he refuses to extend to the Assyrians.
This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts:
- Where are we withholding grace from others?
- How do our blind spots and tribal biases keep us from loving like God?
- What does it mean to truly listen before we speak?
Jonah’s story isn’t just ancient history—it’s a mirror for our lives today. In a divided world, we’re called to reflect God’s mercy, even (and especially) toward those we disagree with.
