Wild Success
Jonah 3:5
And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
Here’s what I’m wondering:
What does it mean that Jonah, this disobedient prophet, has the greatest ministry success of anyone in the entire Old Testament? Here, the entire city repents and humbles itself. (Sackcloth is like burlap, and wearing it is meant to display an outer humility that matches an inward repentance.)
I think there is something that the Lord wants us to learn from seeing Jonah’s wild success.
For me, it’s a good reminder that all God is asking us to do is to go, and he’ll take care of the rest.
