Jonah Prayed To The Lord His God

Sometimes, Ed? No

Sometimes, Ed? No. 90% of the time? No. There are always consequences when we cruise away from God, when we are disobedient. This might shock and rock you, but God wants the best for you and me. God wants the best for us. We obey God as an act of worship, but we also obey him because it is the best thing. There are always consequences when you cruise away from God, so remember that when you are thinking about jumping aboard the Disobedience II. Remember that when you are thumbing through the Travel and Leisure section and you see tantalizing Tarshish.

Okay, Verse 1, Jonah, Chapter 2. This verse made me laugh. From inside the fish Jonah prayed. What a spiritual giant. I would have prayed. How about you? I would have done some serious, foxhole-religion praying. This guy was talking to God, wasnt he? The guy really did pray. If you read his prayer, he confessed his sins before God. And he prayed Scripture, specifically, the book of Psalms. That is why it is so vital that we know the word of God. One of the best ways to learn how to praise God, and one of the best ways to learn how to pray and to articulate your thoughts, is to pray through the book of Psalms. There is amazing stuff right there in the middle of your Bible, the book of Psalms. From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.

I like verse 10, And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. God had hammered Jonah, Jonah, go to Ninevah. Jonah, go toward obedience. Jonah said, No, no, no. He didnt pray. He didnt talk to God about it. But God tapped a fish on the fin one time and said, Vomit up Jonah. Boom. The fish obeyed. The fish obeyed much quicker than Gods prophet. Pretty sad, isnt it? For years, Jacque Cousteau told us that whales were brilliant. Right here, you have got it in black and white.

Fellowship Church states that often times, God allows things in our lives to bring us to him. Often times, God allows things to swallow us up. Often times, as I have said before here, God will knock all the props out. He will even knock one of our knees out. Then he wants us to put the other knee down. I had lunch with a good friend of mine, several days ago.
