—Jonah 2
by: Grace Crouch.
Consider the place where Jonah gave this prayer of thanksgiving. He had just been thrown out of a ship into an angry, stormy sea. Most likely, he thought his life was over. And then, the unthinkable happened. He was saved by being swallowed by a great fish appointed by God. By all standards, this was not an ideal situation. Jonah was not back on dry land just yet. But he knew where he had been and where he was headed when God intervened. And he knew that God was going to set him on the right path again. Likewise, whether your situation is ideal or not, be thankful for where God has intervened and set you straight again.
