Read Jonah 4 last night and this is what spoke to me.
(4:2) And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
(4:6) And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
This is what spoke to me God showed His love and mercy to Jonah in preparing a guord to be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. I was reminded of how Jesus hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows so we can be delivered from burdens of sorrow grief and so much more.
