DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Is Obedience Enough?
Jonah 3:3a; 4:4
"So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the LORD .... Then the LORD said, 'Is it right for you to be angry?' "
Jonah obeyed but he was still an angry man because things didn't go the way he wanted. Is obedience enough? God used Jonah's obedience to bring a great awakening to a wicked people, but Jonah got no joy from it because His heart was not right. I can remember a time when I was an angry preacher. I was faithful to what I felt was God's calling, but things were not going the way I wanted. So I was miserable and took it out on those around me. But God is gracious and long-suffering even when I have a wrong spirit.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Experiencing the joy of God's work is missing when there is a wrong spirit.
Have a "good spirit" day. Love you.
