Priority Check

You may recall from Sunday's message that Jonah apparently had his priorities out of order. It is evident that he had more care and compassion for a plant than he did for people. May his wrong priorities challenge us to evaluate our priorities.

Here is another quote from "Surprised by Grace" that reminds us how easily we can make lesser things into main things.

"...in God's city, the inhabitants love people and walk on gold, while in man's city, the inhabitants love gold and walk on people."

God's deepest affections are reserved for people. In God's economy, people come before projects, not projects before people. God proves this not only in his reprieve for Nineveh but in continually pursuing Jonah."

Endeavoring to love people more than plants, programs, plans or personal agendas,
