Inspired by. . . God's mercy

Inspired by. . . God's mercy

 

Do you ever feel like you're in the belly of a fish.

Surrounded by water, with seaweed wrapped around your head?

 

"Water surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep sea covered me completely. Seaweed was wrapped around my head." Jon 2:5

 

And why are we here? Have we, like Jonah, run from something God has asked us to do? Run from His plan for our life, because we think we have a better plan? How often are we like Eve? Sure that God is holding out on us. And so we taste. . .

We are so easily deceived. Are we not?

And yet, God is merciful.

Jonah knew this about God.

 

"I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, patient, and always ready to forgive and to reconsider your threats of destruction."  Jon 4:2

Even in the pit of our own making, all we have to do is cry out to Him.

And we are lifted.

 

"He pulled me out of a horrible pit, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet on a rock and made my steps secure." Psalm 40:2

 

I don't know what the walls of your pit are made out of.

But it doesn't matter.

God can you lift you out of it.

Cry out to Him.

Reach. . . out to Him.

Trust.

Believe.

Have faith.

 

Blessings,
