Jonah 2:1-2 New International Version (NIV)
2 1From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his
God. 2 He said:
“In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
Jonah was disobedient, rebellious, and selfish. He had run from
the Lord. He had shunned the Lord's command. He had endangered the lives of
those on the ship where he had tried to hide. Yet even in the middle of his
rebellion, God heard his cry and delivered him. If you are in rebellion, if you
are seeking to hide some secret and all-consuming sin, please know the Lord
wants to ransom and redeem you! Things won't be easy, but coming back to the
Lord means ultimate redemption and deliverance.
Thought for today:
Am I capable of a complete confession or do I still try to minimize my wrongs?
