Who Should Care?

But God said to Jonah, "Do you do well to be angry for the plant?" And he said, "Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die." And the Lord said, "You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?"

Jonah 4:9-11

Our smartest thought is only equal to God's dumbest thought. It is hard to think clearly when the fog of self makes life's journey so difficult to navigate. This life was not about Jonah, and it is not about me.

Without God, people cannot experience life, and those without God act like people without God. They are purposeless, empty, self-absorbed, and angry and have nowhere to go for answers.

Unlike Jonah, we should care and be willing to be used to solve the problem, and the first problem we need to allow God to solve has do to with our hearts, not theirs.
