Wig’s Word of God Today 3-16-2011
Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold His blazing wrath, so that we shall not perish. Jonah 3:9
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. Luke 11:30
Jonah 3:1-10, Psalm 51:3-4, 12-13, 18-19 & Luke 11:29-32
There are times in all of our lives that we try and hide from the LORD but you cannot. You can get a haircut, you can shave off your beard or you can get a perm ladies but God still knows each strand of hair on our head and body. Jonah was a prophet running from his duty to the LORD. Thrown off a ship and into the sea, the LORD sent a great fish to rescue him and spew him on the shore. From there Jonah finally accepted his calling and went to Nineveh to be received by the Ninevites and repent from their evil ways. How many of us have refused to follow in God’s Plan for our lives only to be knocked back down to our senses? The LORD rescued many of us I’m sure and we didn’t even know to acknowledge it.
In our surrender to His Truth, we live according to His Will to accomplish acts of faith, charity and love. When you hear God talking to you, do you run and hide or take up His Cross and follow Him? Many a generation wanted to see signs of the LORD’s ability. They want to test the LORD to show His Strength but as it is written, “You shall not put the LORD, your God, to the test!” Deuteronomy 6:16 You must trust in the LORD with all your heart and soul and abide by His Word for the person who trusts abides by his love of loving His Son’s Truth. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of Him, and He will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to live a life of Truth seeking not signs of Your Awesome Power but accepting all as the Power of You. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
Accepting All as the Power of You The Way
Second chance arises
Jonah came to know
Speaking repentive actions
Ninevites abided to show
Relinquishing sinful actions
Fasting and proving their way
God’s Wrath was seen forgiven
City of Homage He granted His stay
Hearts of humble serving
Learned to proclaim and say
God’s Word can guide your giving
His compassion wiped your sins away
Generations of evil and sinful living
Seeking signs of Your Awesome Day
Must with repentive and prayerful action
Accepting all as the Power of You The Way
