Jonah 2:1-2 New International Version (NIV)
2 From 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 in the practice of rebellion, going so far in that I believe that God
does not want to hear or cannot hear me?
