Read: Jonah 2
Jonah is sinking to the depths of the sea with currents swirling
around him. Waves had swept over him and
the waters engulfed him. As He was
plummeting into the waters he cried out to the Lord who answered his
prayer. Jonah knew that he deserved
death and that God showed him extraordinary mercy in saving him. This is a prayer that we all can relate to as
we all deserve death. Our good God has
chosen to put before us a choice – to follow Him and be saved or to turn away
from Him and die. Salvation comes from
the Lord (v. 9). God saved Jonah’s life
and the fish spit him out on dry land (v. 10).
Prayer and Journaling
1. Ask
Jesus to show you where you would be today if He had not saved you. What would your life look like today without
Him?
2. Write
out ten things that you are thankful to God for in your life right now.
3. Pray
for believers to actively walk in thanksgiving to God for salvation, living
lives completely submitted to Him in response for what He has done for us.
