Jonah 2:10“So the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.”
We often compartmentalize the things that we believe are worthy of God’s attention. The truth of the matter however is that the attention of God is worthy of all things, no matter how small and insignificant something may appear, God sees it and is able to influence it irrespective of what it may be.
As we read this scripture. We see that Jonah out of disobedience is swallowed by a fish and as a result he ends up in the belly of the fish for 3 days. The Lord however commands the fish and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land. God was able to speak and command an animal and by that the life of Jonah was spared. If the Lord was able to speak to a fish how much more can he speak to your situation? There is nothing that is outside the reach of God, so no matter where life has taken you, remain confident in who God is.
Secondly obedience is always better than sacrifice. Do not run away from the Lord. If God gives you a task, follow His instructions. Do not ever run away from God because running away from Him will only leave you wanting. God sees beyond the future ahead of you, therefore always take heed and grab hold of His word and live your life in accordance to that.
