The Story & Lessons of Jonah
-One interesting thing about God is that he will allow us to go through our issues. For three days and three nights, Jonah cried out to the Lord from the belly of the fish. Why did God allow Jonah to wait so long? Why did he not deliver him the very first day? God does things in his time and when He is ready to do them. He could have allowed Jonah to stay in the fish for a week or two. Far too often, we put ourselves in situations that we had no business in. Then when things start going wrong we want God to pull us out right away. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," God will allow you to go through your messes (Galatians 6:7). Thank God for his mercy, without it we would not be able to endure the outcomes to what we have sown. "Lord, thank you for your mercy and loving kindness."
