When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.
If I honestly look at my life right now I know there are a few times I probably, with the gracious Sovereign hand of God, have been delivered from self-destruction.
God wants us to turn to him. He longs to show us compassion, to forgive us and restore us to himself. Even if the circumstances are less than perfect, the Father is concerned with our reconciliation. Remember, the message to the Ninevites was delivered by a reluctant messenger who hated the people he was speaking to. God is concerned with our response to him.
Take a moment and ask yourself if God has relented from sending destruction in your life lately...
