the seven years of famine...we will take this incident in history as an allegory giving a picture of greater truths
As an expression of God’s creative power, the stars cause us to praise the Lord. As an object of worship, the stars lead to destruction. But those who serve God in righteousness will shine as the stars forever. Let us all worship and serve our great Creator.
Are you serving the Lord? If so, check your motive. Make sure your desire is to please the Lord and not men.
The Book of Jonah is a battle of wills. If there ever was a book of the Bible that dealt with a man matching his will and wits against the Lord, it’s the Book of Jonah. You don’t have to read very far to realize the fruitlessness of that endeavor! Have you ever battled the Lord over anything?
Though all men are doing what is right in their own eyes, God is still keeping account and judging the wicked.
