Today's Scripture
Jonah 1:17
Now the Lord had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.
Many people have tried to dismiss this miraculous event as fiction, but the Bible does not describe it as a dream or a legend. We should not explain away this miracle as if we can pick and choose which of the miracles of the Bible to believe. That kind of attitude would allow us to question any part of the Bible and cause us to lose trust in the Bible as God's True & Reliable Word.
Jonah's experience was used by Christ Himself as an illustration of His death and resurrection. ( Matthew 12: 39-40 But Jesus replied,“Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. )
Lord, You are a God of Wondrous miracles ! And we praise Your Mighty Name !
We thank You that You continue today to work in miraculous ways. Thank You for Your True, Reliable, and Time Tested Living Word. May we spend more time this coming week reading about You & learning more about Your Character and plan for us in Your Word. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a great week !!
And always remember to pray !
Love in Christ,
April
