WHEN WE DISOBEY THE RULES

Wednesday – Jonah 2-3:3
Jonah’s response to sin was a bit different than David’s or Paul’s. We don’t see a specific moment of repentance, but we hear him cry out to the Lord in his distress from the belly of a whale and give God credit for deliverance. Unfortunately, we don’t have access to all of Jonah’s inner thoughts or all of his conversations with God, but what we read in 3:3 is the most significant. Jonah disobeyed before when he was told to go to Ninevah, but this time, he obeyed the word of the Lord and went. He turned from his way and followed God’s instructions for his life.
