Now Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God from inside the fish. He said, “I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and Lord, you heard me! You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves. Then I said, oh Lord, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple. “I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head. I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates locked shut forever. But you, O Lord my God, snatch me from the jaws of death. As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple. Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies. But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord alone.” Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach. After all his headedness Jonah finally listened and preach to the people of Nineveh. The people of Nineveh change from their wicked ways and God did not carry out the destruction he had threatened. The book of Jonah tells the story of this prophet flight and how God stopped him and turned him around. But it is much more than a story of a man and a great fish. Jonah story is a profound illustration of God’s mercy and grace. No one deserves God’s favor less than the people of Nineveh, the Assyria capital. Jonah knew this. He knew God would forgive and bless them if they return from their sin and worship him Jonah also knew the power of God’s message, that even through his own weak preaching, they would respond and would be spared God’s judgment. Thanks for stopping by you guys are awesome! Until next time.
