Is God Concerned? (Jonah 1:6)

"So the captain approached him and said, "how is it that you are sleeping? Get up, call on your god. Perhaps your god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish"" -Jonah 1:6

God had done as He pleased to bring to past the fulfillment of His will. But at what expense will He put the people to? Is He concerned about the sailors onboard the ship?

The whole book of Jonah is about aliens (lol.) and pagans coming to know and fear the Lord. It has a missional theme about it, so yes, God is in fact, very concerned, about the sailors. The ship that did not sink remains the evidence of God's kindness and on top of that, through Jonah's confession, they even came to fear the Lord! (v.16)

Now, can other people around us be affected during our times of disobedience or chastening? I certainly think so! The question is, do we dare confess our wrongs and disobedience to people? (I'm not trying to say that we should confess all our sins and whatsoever to them but only those that affect them directly.)
