Jonah Pt. 26 The Danger of a Closed Heart
In this week’s Jonah devotional, we reach a startling moment in Jonah’s story—where God’s mercy toward Nineveh leaves Jonah furious and resentful. When God provides a plant for shade, only to take it away, Jonah’s anger reveals a deeper issue: his unwillingness to share the grace he himself has received.
This passage forces us to ask:
- Do we ever resent God’s kindness to others?
- Are we, like Jonah, quick to judge but slow to extend compassion?
- How does God gently confront our own small-mindedness?
Jonah’s story ends with a challenge—not just for him, but for us. Will we cling to selfishness, or will we embrace the wide-reaching mercy of God?
