Walk with God
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.—Genesis 5:24 (NIV)
When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.”—Jonah 4:8 (NIV)
Jonah was angry and tired, wanting to die—absorbed in his own feelings when God gave him a lesson of compassion and taught him the value of caring for others. God had patience and saved Jonah from himself, not once but twice. God’s love for us is boundless.
Lord, when I am too focused on myself to see You and Your blessings, lead me to trust that You are a gracious God.

For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.—1 Thessalonians 5:5 (ESV)
After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: “I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.”—Acts 13:22 (NIV)
