Reflections on Jonah 1-4


Jonah ran away from and hid from the Lord. Well, at least he tried to.

Again the Lord is intimately involved! Made the sea act a certain way, the wind to stir up, caused Jonah to remain asleep in the storm.

The crew plead with their gods for help – with no result.

God caused Jonah to draw the short stick.

Vs12 – Jonah’s understanding and faith on display. Wow! Again, a man speaking boldly about what God will/can do.

Vs16 – The men vowed to serve the true and living God. (the storm was in their best interest)

2:8 – “Those who worship false gods have turned their backs on all the mercies waiting for them from the Lord!”
