Thy People:
My People

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.

Ruth 1:16

Ruth 1:1-18

Do loss and grief make me bitter?

How do I get on with living despite loss and grief?

How firmly do I believe that God does not deal with us carelessly?

“…The LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with…” (Ruth 1:8).

Is dealing kindly with others part of my commitment to my family as well as to others?

What do I do when I experience the hand of God against me?

How strong are my relationship cords to God’s people?

[The Scriptures say in Ruth 1:9 -- The LORD grant you that ye may find rest]

Jonah just knew how God would respond!

Got Pity?

Thou hast had pity on the gourd…. And should I not spare Nineveh…?

Jonah 4:10,11

Reading:

Jonah 3:10-4:11

God worked with the repentant Ninevites — will I be graciously flexible?

God worked with unrepentant Jonah — do I throw up my hands too soon?

Which do I prefer to be — redeemer or judge?

What do I know about God…and how does it affect my thinking and living?

“God prepared a gourd…. God prepared a worm…. God prepared a vehement east wind…” (Jonah 4:6,7,8).

Can I discern God at work in the “little” things and events in my life?

Would I survive my own attitude toward Jonah if it were directed toward me?

The Scriptures say in Jonah 4:2 -- I knew that thou art a gracious God

I knew that thou art a gracious God (Jonah 4:2)
