Obedience to God is very important.
We learned how the Hebrew men obeyed God and were saved from certain death in a
very mighty way. And because of their
obedience and God’s amazing power of salvation displayed, others – including
two very important kings believed. This
week we see some disobedience - Jonah was a prophet of God that had a job to do
– specifically outlined to him by God.
But Jonah was unlike Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego as he chose
to disobey God. Through Jonah’s running,
he boarded a ship going the opposite direction of God’s directions. Jonah wasn’t on that ship very long as he
found himself thrown overboard into the sea.
God sent a large fish to swallow him so that Jonah could repent of his
sin of disobedience and purpose in his heart to serve God. God saved him from drowning- certain death –
so that Jonah could have another opportunity to obey. Jonah did repent of his sin in the fish and
praised God for that second opportunity to obey. God again proved His salvation from
punishment once man repents and plans to turn his ways.
