L. C. FOX-SMITH - 01/06/25: Today I read Jonah and some commentaries. I’m going to think on some key themes for the rest of the day:
- No matter how far we’ve fallen, God will show us mercy. When we admit our sins, repent and surrender to God, he will be there for us. It's in His nature to restore and forgive us.
- When we turn our back on God, run from Him and ignore His word, we will suffer the consequences. Even God’s chosen people - like Jonah - turned away from Him and faced some difficult situations, despair and depression.
- God works through people to bring others to Him. He loves us and wants us all to come to Him.
Is there a part of your life where you’ve been running from God—where He might be calling you to return today?
