From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave, I called for help, and you listened to my cry.” (Jonah 2:1–2, NIV 1984).
My Musings – No matter where we are or have been, we’ve never been where Jonah was. By His own decision, trying to get as far away from God’s direction as he could. Only to end up “inside the fish…the depths of the grave.” Despite all that “[God] listened to [his] cry,” and “brought [his] life up from the pit.” (Jonah 2:6, NIV 1984).
My Advice – In a bad spot? Feeling that God could not possibly hear your cry, much less “[listen] to [your] cry?” Remember God sent the storm. He sent the fish. He sent the distress. Where you are right now just might be the only place God could get your attention. If you “[call] for help,” He will “[listen] to [your] cry.” You cannot get so far away from Him that He cannot “[bring your] life up from the pit.” So, what are you waiting for?
