A Godly Gut Reaction
November 5, 2023
It has truly been a “whale of a tale” so far in our series through the book of Jonah. Not only has this prophet ran from God’s very presence, but we’ve watched God continue to relentlessly show up in amazing and unexpected ways. Last we saw Jonah, he was hurled overboard into the sea… and into the waiting mouth of the divinely appointed fish. This week, we have front row seats to see how this salty prophet responds to such an act of grace.
Oftentimes, when someone speaks impulsively, we say that it was a "gut reaction". The prayer that we’ll uncover in chapter 2 was also a "gut reaction," although in this case Jonah was reacting to the whale's gut rather than his own. But thankfully, this guy is finally talking to God! Not only that, but he's learned a few lessons along the way, lessons that you and I won’t want to miss either.
