Psalm 107:23
Psalm 107:23 Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. 24 They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep. 25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. 26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. 27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits' end. 28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. 29 He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. 30 They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. 31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. (NIV)
Today our main character is Jonah. We all know the story of Jonah from Sunday School. Jonah was a prophet of God and God had given him an assignment to go to a wicked city by the name of Nineveh and preach repentance to it. But Jonah goes in the completely opposite direction of where God wanted him to go. So God had to assign a great fish to swallow him up and after 3 days and 3 nights spit him up onto dry land in the city that Jonah was called to go to preach to. The book of Jonah teaches us that God is a God of compassion who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4) It also teaches us that God is patient and gives opportunity for us even on a national level to repent and come back to Him.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Jonah was supposed to go to Nineveh, but instead he boards a boat heading to Tarshish - as far away as possible. Let's read what happened to Jonah.
