The book of Jonah is an extended demonstration of the providence of God: whether providing a gigantic fish or a small worm, He was at work directing everything to its appointed end. Today, too, God still provides everything out of a desire to see all people drawn into His grace. Alistair Begg teaches us that just as Jonah was distracted by the vine and the worm, we should ask ourselves, “Is there anything in my life that concerns me more than seeing unbelieving people become the committed followers of Jesus Christ?”
