The Obedient Sailors - Traditional

Jonah, the mighty prophet, became like a rebellious toddler when the Lord told him to bring God’s word to Nineveh. The sailors, the people of Nineveh, and even the bush that lived only a day, were all more faithful than the mighty prophet of God. We confess that we are probably no different than Jonah – mightily blessed and mightily rebellious when called on to use our blessings to help people we disagree with. Turn our hearts of stone into clay so that they can be remolded in Jesus’ name. Amen
