Daily Devotionals - Thursday

Theme: The Gospel City

In the last verse of the book of Jonah God says: "But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?" 

• Nineveh was a world city like London, Johannesburg or New York.  Jonah hated it and it's people and didn't want to be there or see it's people be saved.
• But God was 'concerned' for that city (He calls it 'great'), it's people (120 000) and it's economy ('the cattle').  
• Are you concerned for the great cities of our world? Not only for what they can or can't do for you but for the positive influence they can have on the rest of the world? 

Prayer: Our Father in heaven, we admit that we don't look at our cities and the people in them in the same way as you do: we just don't care as much as you do.  It is only when our jobs, joys and opportunities are threatened that we start to care.  Please make us new and remind us to to look to the One who was killed outside the city, to bring to us the city where we will experience your perfect care for us eternally.  Amen
