A GRACIOUS GOD!

" And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster." JONAH 4:2, English Standard Version 

In the many countries of the  world today, there is such thing as presidential pardon where high authorities exercise mercy on those who have violated the constitutional orders and regulations by acquitting them from serving the mandatory verdict of the country. This act place much reverence of these presidents who out of humanitarian gesture shows pardon. Some of them are celebrated from generation to generation and their names lives on. Indeed it is a good thing. How excellent humans can act lovely and sympathetically? Human who sleeps and vanishes the next minute. Man who gets sick and none can help. If all these can be done by mere mortals, could not the creator of the universe do beyond this? 

God is more concern about the life of human race than anything on earth. It hurts Him when a little soul perish. He wishes every human life to be preserved. All that he needs is change of the ways of man that perpetually sets him in destruction. That is why prophet Jonah was lamenting. A city that became saturated with a human race which had violated the purpose of God for their lives from the little ones to the great and according to divine justice of the universe, the city was supposed to be annihilated and condemned but the Lord show mercy. In this bible passage, the gracious Lord said he will pardon them because the entire city is ignorant of the consequence of how they were living. 
This is the case of many people over the world. People who are so drunk in the life of the devil are so ignorant that they believe they are living by their own right. But this is a great deception. You find in all works of life where people propagate the gospel of human right guaranteeing people to live anyway disregarding the righteous life of the creator. Today, as you read, the gracious God is waiting to show you mercy and pardon. He will forgive your ignorance and save you as He forgave Nineveh. 

PRAYER: Gracious Lord, I submit my life to you. I ask for you pardon on my ignorance and save me from destruction. In Jesus' name. Amen
