How are you doing, Friend?
Pain in this life up until heaven is inevitable. When times are good
it’s easy to forget that and instead expect life to be pain-free. Then,
God becomes the bad guy.
Job and Jonah learned this but in different ways. Job had an
exceptionally good life, then he lost nearly everything, then he
regained happy circumstances. He knew what it is like to see painfully
dramatic shifts in his fortune.
Jonah’s life was average; he was neither rich nor poor. But at least
he had a relationship with God; he knew God’s forgiveness. Yet, he
apparently didn’t remember what it was like to be a recipient of God’s
mercy. Or, at least he didn’t want to see people, who he thought didn’t
deserve it, be given the opportunity to receive it.
Matt
