S – ⁴ The Lord asked, “Is it right for you to be angry?” 

Jonah  4:4 CSB 

O – The Lord demonstrates with the plant why Jonah shouldn’t be angry.  The plant was created by God and removed by God.  God cared for the people of Nineveh even when they didnt love him.

A – The big lesson is that it is pointless to be angry with God because He holds your life and purpose.  He promises he is doing all things for your good and will make all circumstances to your benefit because he loves youl

The small lesson is that I personally think you can be angry with God.  If I am in  a relationship with God, it is ok to get angry, vent and tell God how you feel.  In those moments of frustration and disagreement, I have gotten to know how I truly feel about God and more of his character revealed.  I haven’t won a fight with God.  Yet, I am grateful that I am not his “robot” either.  It is a true relationship.

R – Lord, there are a number of things that I have been angry about with you.  Thank you for allowing me to put it all out there.  Your graciousness to show your mercy and patience with me is overwhelming.  In the end, I love you and put my trust in your purpose for me.
