Have Some Pity

Are you easily frustrated with people? Does your demeanor drastically shift at the slightest provocation? You’re not alone.

Jonah had shown his frustration with people, so God gave him a test. He sent a plant to offer Jonah some relief. When the plant withered, Jonah lamented the death of the plant. He showed more pity for the plant than people.

Here are four powerful lessons from Jonah to shape your attitude toward people:

1. Your anger isn’t good.
2. Consider the possibility of their ignorance.
3. Don’t preside in God’s judgment seat.
4. Share God’s grace.
