—Jonah 3
by: Grace Crouch.
Did you notice that when the people of Nineveh believed, their actions followed? They did not change their behavior because the king commanded it. They repented before the king ever gave an edict for fasting. There was a change within their own hearts as well as the king’s. Repentance is not just remorse for wrong-doing, but a complete reversal of behavior. God saw that their deeds were good and He showed them mercy.
