Jonah

God's choice of workers rarely fall along the lines of human logic. God wanted to have his words preached in the capitol city of Assyria. He wanted the people of Nineveh, who were pagans and also Isreal's enemy, to humble themselves and repent. And so he picked a prejudiced, stubborn, complaining man to be his mouthpeice. Jonah didn't want the job from the start. But God wanted Jonah, and he pursued him when he could have washed his hands of him and chosen someone else.
Jonah's story illistrates God's boundless love. We see God reaching across the boundries of Isreal into enemy territory. We see him reaching into the depths fo the sea to save a rebellious man. And we see him patiently working with Jonah, and working with him again, to help him understand something of that boundless love. Jonah may not be the most admirable prophet God used, but he is exceedingly human. And it is humans, including women like you and I, that God uses to do his work!
