Make the Call

Let everyone call urgently on God ~ Jonah 3:8

 

When is a time where you have urgently called on God? Urgently meaning you required immediate action or attention. It certainly would’ve been a serious, and probably even a life threatening moment. I mean we’re not gonna urgently call on God to shine on tomorrow’s day at the beach.

 

In Jonah 3 we find the king of Nineveh, the most powerful man in the city, an arrogant villain, putting on sackcloth, and sitting in the dust because he’s heard a message from God (through Jonah).

 

He leaves his seat of authority and  power, and takes off his royal clothes of pride... and he sits down in the dust where we all came from, and will return someday.

 

The king who allowed and  commanded violence and oppression for so many years has humbled himself and commanded a fast, telling everyone to urgently call on God.

 

Why? Because this non-believer heard from God.

The heart of the answer lies right here...  change begins when a person believes God!

Not just believing in God, but believing God!

 

O’ Lord, that you hear our urgent prayer for the world...

That all nations!

That all peoples!

would know and embrace You!

 

Pray on...
