Jonah in the Great Fish
This morning I was pouring out my heart to the Lord and telling him how I need breakthrough in a couple different areas of my life. Then, the Lord brought to mind Jonah in the belly of the great fish. I had a visual image come to mind that was nothing like veggie tales lol. And then I thought of Jonah 2:9, “Salvation belongs to the LORD!” Yes it does!!!! He saved me just like he did Jonah, just like he did when he said to Lazarus in his grave clothes, “Lazarus, come out!” That’s me! "But for the grace of God, there goes I…”
Can anyone else relate to God’s saving grace in their life?
I have really struggled with discipline this week. I thank God that "his mercy endures forever," and that we have such a great hope to guide us back to the Lord. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5,6. It is Christ's righteousness that empowers us to run the race with joy and perseverance.
