many times we seem to think that God will change His mind if we don't want to do something... if God has made His mind up and you are the one chosen, then He will change you, not His will... God says something to us, we wait, or ignore it and keep thinking then that God will say something else... we are the ones on the time constraint... not God... He has been here since eternity and will continue for eternity... we are the ones who die... not Him... so He waits... and while we are thinking He is silent, really... He is just waiting for you to get up and do the last thing that He told you to do...
Jonah was vomited up by the fish... God again said the exact same thing to him... He didn't change it up... He didn't give any short cuts to make it more attractive... He said the same thing over again... this time Jonah listened...
the Ninevites believed God, declared a fast and all of them were mourning and lamenting... asking God for forgiveness.... even the king... and their hope was in God... hoping that God would relent, show compassion, and turn from His anger and let them live...
and He did... God is full of mercy at all times... always looking for us to turn it around and listen to Him, to act according to His statutes... our God really only wants to save us... why do we seem to have such a hard time allowing it and turning from sin and from the ways of the world??
