When Jonah ran from God’s call, he didn’t just face a storm—he got swallowed by a sea monster. But here’s the twist: the fish wasn’t the punishment. It was the rescue plan.
“And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights” (Jonah 1:17). What looks like judgment from the outside might just be mercy in motion. God disciplines, but He also preserves—especially when we’re running the wrong way.
Have you ever experienced a moment that felt like rock bottom… only to realize later it was grace wrapping around you?
“You can’t outrun God’s call.”
