Be mindful to keep that in the forefront of your thinking. God is a merciful God. Once again, God is a merciful God. You my have started your course and gotten off track, but God is in the business of getting you back. He is locked on your coordinates and is reeling you in, so that you won’t suffer, so that you can work for him. That big fish was sent to protect Jonah from drowning in the deep. Then once he prayed that fish swam towards shore and spit him out. Don’t allow the devil to say, “you’ve had it, I will destroy you today.” No, God is getting ready to move with you at the helm.
Jonah 2:8-10
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
