4:6 耶和華上帝安排一棵蓖麻,使其發生高過約拿,影兒遮蓋他的頭,救他脫離苦楚;約拿因這棵蓖麻大大喜樂。
4:7 次日黎明,上帝卻安排一條蟲子咬這蓖麻,以致枯槁。
6 Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. 7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered.

人常常耽擱在順境之中,卻沒有警戒順境隨時會消逝,導致逆境來到時不知所措,這是人生最大的悲劇!
而約拿這樣的經歷,真的像順境驟變成逆境一般!有一棵蓖麻影兒遮蓋他的頭,救他脫離苦楚,是一件多麼喜樂與美好的事情!然而正當高興的時候,上帝卻安排一條蟲子咬這蓖麻,以致枯槁,讓他又要面對狠毒的日光,讓他炎熱難當,真是痛苦啊!
求主保守我們,讓我們學習來面對各樣人生的變故,使我們不要耽延在順境中,要隨時預備面對考驗,因為上帝與我們同在!
