“The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time….” (v. 1)

I don’t know about you…

…but I’ve messed some stuff up in my life.

In my rebellion, I have missed opportunities, squandered callings, and ignored responsibilities. God has for my obedience. He’s even equipped me for His purposes. And I’ve run away.

What would life be like without His grace? Without His second chances?

Jonah, by grace, gets to go again. The man learned—or at least, has begun to learn—a hard lesson about obedience. And God sends him a second time—a second chance.

I believe He still graciously gives us these second chances, too.

Will you respond with obedience this go ‘round?
