The Story & Lessons of Jonah
-Picking up where we left off from yesterday. Jonah had just told the men to throw him over into the sea. The men really didn’t want to just throw poor Jonah in the sea. So, they tried to row the boat to land. That plan did not work. Then the men cried out to God and said, “We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee,” (Jonah 1:14). After that, the men threw Jonah into the sea and it became clam. “Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows,” (Jonah 1:16).
-When we disobey God he can/will use that situation for his glory and purpose. Remember when the storm first started the men were all running around praying to all kinds of different gods. The word stated, “cried every man unto his god,” (Jonah 1:5). It did not state that the men cried unto God, but “his god.” Like every man had his own god. After they threw Jonah in the sea and it was clamed, they saw the power of the Lord. Now they prayed to Jonah’s God. God used that situation to show those men who the true God is. Lord, please use me to your glory in every situation that I am in; even the situations that are brought on due to my disobedience. Please turn my crooked paths straight.
“And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them,” Isaiah 42:16.
