—Jonah 1:7-17
by: Grace Crouch.
Here we have a bunch of sailors who did not know the God, but they were certain the storm was from a god. How fascinating that Jonah was attempting to flee a situation where he would have to share his God only to find himself in a situation where he had no choice but to share about Him. And the sailors believed! Of course, Jonah did not get to stick around to see this all transpire. In the midst of his rebellion, God had already prepared a place of “time out” for Jonah where he would have an opportunity to contemplate God’s goodness and grace for him as well as Nineveh. I challenge you today to take some time out to contemplate God’s sustaining love for you.
