"The Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea so that the ship threatened to break up. ... The Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah." -Jonah 1:4, 11
Jonah, in disobedience, attempted to run from the felt presence of God. He sought escape and refuge in a ship going to Tarshish. The creator of heaven and earth had other plans for Jonah. The Lord interrupted Jonah's plans. We go astray at times. By His mercy, the Lord hurls a great wind into our lives, making everything feel like it will break up. There is a place when we find the end of ourselves. God is willing and able to redeem us from our sins and disobedience. According to the redemptive plan of the Lord, He appointed great winds and great fish to bring His people back unto Himself. May we be reconciled unto the Lord today.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
