Are You Drowning?
By Mark Flippo
Jonah 2:2-7 MSG
2-He prayed: "In trouble, deep trouble, I prayed to God. He answered me. From the belly of the grave I cried, 'Help!' You heard my cry. 3-You threw me into ocean's depths, into a watery grave, With ocean waves, ocean breakers crashing over me. 4-I said, 'I've been thrown away, thrown out, out of your sight. I'll never again lay eyes on your Holy Temple.' 5-Ocean gripped me by the throat. The ancient Abyss grabbed me and held tight. My head was all tangled in seaweed 6-at the bottom of the sea where the mountains take root. I was as far down as a body can go, and the gates were slamming shut behind me forever - Yet you pulled me up from that grave alive, O God, my God! 7-When my life was slipping away, I remembered God, And my prayer got through to you, made it all the way to your Holy Temple.
Are you feeling a little like Jonah? Your stuck with the stink of a rotten situation. You feel trapped with no way out. You want God to just put you out of your misery. Like Jonah his time of trouble was for a certain time. You will be delivered in due season. You must keep the Faith even if you feel you are losing it. God has a reason that you are in the place you are in. Let Him perfect you. Testing is not pleasant at the time. Growing in God will bring rewards that will help you become a stronger Christian.
