TITLE:\u00a0\u00a0 Misplaced Anger<\/h2>\n

TEXT:\u00a0 Jonah 4: 1 – 11 (p.775)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I. JONAH\u2019S ANGER<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jonah wasn\u2019t afraid of failure. He feared (success<\/span>).<\/p>\n

This was deeper than \u201cit displeased Jonah exceedingly. A more accurate translation would be \u201cit was evil to Jonah.\u201d<\/p>\n

See description of God he gives in verse 2b. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT JONAH WANTED.<\/p>\n

Jonah can\u2019t (manipulate<\/span>) God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II. GOD\u2019S REBUKE<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Several observations:<\/p>\n

(1) God did not respond to anger (with anger<\/span>).<\/p>\n

(2) Jonah did not stay (in the city<\/span>).<\/p>\n

(3) There is a contrast between Jonah\u2019s behavior and the (king\u2019s<\/span>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are real issues in the exchange?<\/p>\n

1. For Jonah, it is (recurring anger) and a death wish coming from his own twisted idea of (judgment<\/span>).<\/p>\n

2. For God, it involves traits like extending (pity<\/span>), (compassion<\/span>), and (mercy<\/span>) to others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This book forces us to see our own power struggles with God:<\/p>\n

\u2022 What has God called us to do that puts us into a contest of wills with Him?<\/p>\n

\u2022 What challenges has God placed before you that has you running away?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Has your pride and ego gotten in the way?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Are there people you resist loving and caring for?<\/p>\n
