Jonah 4:1-11 KJV
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
6 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

Jonah a man who was displeased and angry because God had sent him to Nineveh. Jonah caught a boat to Tarshish, and he knew of God's mercy, slow to anger, and of his great kindness and his ability to turn people from evil. Jonah desired the Lord to take his life from him: for it is better for him in his thinking to die than to live. We truly do not know why Jonah did not desire to go to Nineveh completely, but we know he was a man called to preach, because the men on the ship he sailed on worshipped God when the waters were stilled after they toss Jonah overboard(Jonah 1). They knew Jonah's God caused that storm. Jonah swallowed by a fish and the fish threw him up on shore. Yet Jonah journey does not stop, he then goes to Nineveh after God mercy not to kill him, and he goes and preaches. The city of Nineveh repents. Jonah goes out of the city upset not happy with the revival that took place. Now we come to this place we grasp that Jonah upset but the reason seems not really explain why he upset.

I can tell you something more was going on with Jonah it was more of why do I need to go and preach Lord, if you merciful and so forth. Why testify against them, if God going to deliver and show them mercy one more time, then why bother to preach. It is like crime in any government, it a reality no matter where you live, evil seems to be in all forms of government. If government leaders do not correct the evil way of man within government why preach to them. The government more often just smack their on the wrist and tells them if you are caught you might have to pay with your life, but don't do it again, because we can not stop what may happen to you so to speak, if caught. It like turning away to only if the warning not be good enough it occurs once more and only do it again to be smacked because government the only one that caught their own. Seems like a waste of time to do the first correction and event he second.

Jonah sits down on a hill above the city. And he watches to see what will happen because Nineveh repents. God sends this gore to grow up in the heat and give Jonah shade, in the night a worm cuts it down. Jonah upset at the worm for cuting the plant down. God question Jonah about being concerned about a plant that he did not grow, and yet not concerned about a city he did not grow. Concerned about one because it benefitted him but not the other. Are we not like that in world, the government sins, but the people sin and the correction comes to the people but not the government. Government repents and no recourse and people repent and they go to jail for a life sentence. Does not God create both groups of people and yet the law of man applies only to one, that the one outside the government. It truth, the preacher sees the church people but does he see the need to preach to the lost and dying world. Jonah whatever his true nature was God was speaking about with the example of a gourd. One's call to preach means you minister to all, despite your location of ministry. You preach it to the heathens as well as the others that provide shade from the heat of fires of hell that seem to be rising up beneath the pulpit becaused the preacher is to afraid to speak the truth of God's word to the sinners.

God calls men and women into places he allows evil to arise. Calls them to preach repentance to teach scripture, to teach the ways of God and yet evil still rises around them, for them to narrowly escape from the wrath and destruction to come. Some come in like the helen of troy. God has not forsake one soul that desires to know him. Nineveh had to of had people whose soul's desire the love of God in their life. God did not abandon the city for destruction until many years later. Who are we to judge who God's sends us to, their need of chance at salvation is in the heart of God. Why not allow that word to penetrate the hearts of those he sends you to, he sees the deepth of the heart, you can not. Just pray, preach, and teach his word to them. Let God's Spirit do the rest.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for caring about each person no matter the place they live or live not. That every soul has value in your kingdom that repents. in Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: Romans 10:11-21 KJV
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
