Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • The word of the Lord comes to Jonah a second time, with the same instruction. What does that show you about God?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • A whole enemy city changes its mind. What does it take for people to actually change?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one thing you will do differently this week — your second chance?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who deserves a second chance from you? When will you give it?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, you gave Jonah the same job all over again after he ran away. Thank you for second chances. Help me take the one you have given me.
