Evangelism 101, Day 16

God provided. Read Jonah 4:7-8.

When we read these verses, and even looking back at verse 6 from yesterday. The phrase “God provided” is used 3 times. God provides the plant. God provides the worm. God provides the east wind. Who is to say one of God’s provisions is better or worse than another. Jonah certainly liked the plant more than he like the worm or the wind, but the same God provided them all.

When I look at my life, I see the things that God provides. Some of them I instantly like. Other things are profoundly difficult. Still the same God provided them.

If I trust God, I have to trust his decisions and his provisions. God was using this as an opportunity to help Jonah learn. What is God seeking to teach me as I go through these provisions? What is God seeking to teach you through the things he has provided in your life?
