In a time of deprivation and uncertainty, with no clarity how this is all going to work out, we are led to trust God on a daily basis and keep on in faith. God supplies our need, supremely through Jesus, the bread of life.

Do we get “riled up” about things that really should get us fired up? The book of Jonah challenges us to be “appropriately aggrieved,” and become passionate about the purposes of God.

God’s desire is for all to turn and be saved from sin and death.

When we find ourselves deep in trouble, it can be a time of coming afresh into the presence of God.

Sometimes God calls us in ways that leave us feeling we want to run in the opposite direction, as did Jonah! But in fact God would lead us in directions that bring fulfillment.

Easter is the movement from forsakenness – the feeling that God is absent – to the triumph of God’s redeeming power!
