Down in the Dumps
Some snipets from Jonah's prayer inside the whale. For more info see the previous post. You're not inside a whale today, but maybe you feel like Jonah did. You've walked away from God and what He wants for you. Here was he said.
1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. 2 He said: "In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave [a] I called for help, and you listened to my cry. 3 You hurled me into the deep, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.
7 "When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.
8 "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
Salvation comes from the LORD."
Do you have an idol in your life? Is there anything more important to you than God? vs 8 is a gooder. "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs."
I want that grace.
Lord forgive us.
We repent.
We need you. Please save us and forgive us.
We love you.
