The Weight of Sin
We must take time daily to reflect on the weight and significance of our sin to truly appreciate the gravity of who God is and what He has done and promised to do.
Rescued for Redemption
In spite of Jonah’s guilt and God’s judgment, in spite of the impossible circumstances Jonah found himself in, God had delivered Jonah from death to life so that he could go and live out the calling on his life to take God’s message to the people of Nineveh so that they would repent and be saved and know the mercy of God.
Pleasing Sacrifices
Jesus wasn’t ostentatious with His acts of doing good and sharing. He worked with what He had, like mud or five loaves and two fishes.
Pursuit of the Kingdom
Perhaps, even more importantly there was renewed strength and prayer and focus on the Kingdom work of praying for the lost and getting His message out daily.

The Blessing of Repentance
Refusal to confess sins creates physical problems but, as David teaches us here in Psalm 32, confession (repentance) brings the blessings of forgiveness and joyful deliverance!
Be The Difference
Even if there is only one who is lost, we are to seek them out – we are to be the light that helps them find their way; and we are to rejoice over them when they are found.
Sin’s Requirement
Clearly, if our desire is to live (abide) in Christ, who is the Truth, then we must own up to our sins, confessing them before God who is faithful to not only forgive us but to cleanse us from “all of our all unrighteousness.”
