10 And the Lord said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?” ~ Jonah 4:10-11
God’s ways are not our ways, and our ways are not God’s ways. Not even our thoughts are like the Most High thoughts. Because like Jonah, we are concerned about the plant, while God is concerned about souls. That’s why He told us to cast our cares and our concerns on Him. The reason He said that is because He does care for us, and He does love us.
God wants us to be kind and loving to each other. He wants us to be concerned about other souls, especially lost souls. The book of Proverbs says that he who wins souls is wise. We are expected to tell the world about Jesus by testifying about His goodness.
Father, thank You for all Your many blessings upon me. Thank You for Your goodness and Your mercy. Thank You for Your everlasting love and Your perfect grace. Thank You that I know You and that You know me. Help me to be bold and testify to Your goodness. Help me to be a laborer in Your field, harvesting many souls for You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
