Are You On The Bottom Of The Sea? #26

Jonah 1:6 How can you sleep at a time like this? Get up and pray.

Ever feel like Jonah? The only way to describe your current situation is: “I am in a mess.” Jonah found himself in the belly of a big fish. That was certainly a mess. He got there because he was running from God. My advice to Jonah and to you: stop running from God. You cannot get away.

The second thing Jonah had to do was to accept responsibility for the mess he was in at that moment. Not always, but often the problem you are encountering is selfmade and self-perpetuated. Accept responsibility and do something about it.

Third, look to God. He is the only way out. Jonah saw that living at the bottom of the sea in a fish’s stomach was not the way to find abundant life. Maybe you need to come to the conclusion that you really need God. I believe God might even allow you to be ‘on the bottom of the sea’ in order to wake you up to your need for God Himself. Reach out to God right now. He is there waiting for you to come to Him.

I hope you find purpose for your life today as you grow in Christ. May God bless you as your spiritual life prospers in Jesus.
