Devotions Inside a Fish
Jonah 1:17-2:10
Skip Heitzig
Jonah 1 (NKJV™) | |
17 | Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. |
Jonah 2 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly. |
2 | And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice. |
3 | For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me. |
4 | Then I said, 'I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.' |
5 | The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head. |
6 | I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD, my God. |
7 | "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple. |
8 | "Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy. |
9 | But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD." |
10 | So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. |
