When His Servants sin
Jonah 4:1-3

Jeanne and her family had to move into an apartment complex for three months. Everyday she would see children playing in the courtyard. She felt God leading her to do a Backyard Bible Club for them. She came up with many excuses for not following His direction. She moved out of the complex, and she had done nothing to reach those children for Christ.
The good news is that God did not give up on her. Although she had failed to obey Him, He was patient with her. He has given her other opportunities to serve Him. While she can never go back in time and make the right decision, she can make sure she obeys Him now.
Jonah became angry when God did not bring judgment on the people of Nineveh. Jonah wanted to see the people punished. Although God rebuked Jonah for sinning, He was still patient with Jonah. Isn't it great that God is patient even when His servants sin?
God, thank You for Your patience. Help me to obey the commands You give me.
