"O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still at home?  That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish.  I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity."  Jonah 4:2

How well Jonah knew God.

In his heart he knew exactly what God would do if the citizens of Nineveh repented, and frankly this was not what Jonah felt they deserved.

Here is the evidence that man's ways are not always God's ways, but there is no doubting that His ways are best.

This is America's hope today.

The falling away from God in America is indisputable.

But repentance will result in revival, because God is not willing that any should perish but that all repent and come to Him.

This is America's hope; her only hope for full restoration to the "One Nation Under God" once so obvious to all.

He is still the gracious God of Jonah's day just waiting for us to repent and return to Him.
