Summary of Readings

§     Change often looks good, but making it, and keeping it are not easy

§     The “refreezing”, or adjusting to the change, often calls for giving up something that we already have, and maybe like, for something unknown

§     Jonah himself, and Israel after Elijah’s sacrifice, could not continue to implement the changes required

§     When we ask God to “deliver us from evil” do we really want Him to, or do we just want His protection whilst we keep doing what we like to do?

§     God will remove the evil from the 144,00 –give victory over the beast - they will stand with The Lamb, being renewed, and made as He is. (Rom 8:17)
