StormProof預覽

In every storm and in every bewildering environment of your life, God’s chief desire is that you cry out to Him. When you find yourself in a place of terror and solitary confinement, God wants your attention. 

Jonah had been about one gulp of salt water away from death when God rescued him. The waves had covered him and he was rapidly descending into the deepest and darkest part of the sea. There was no rescue boat on the way or safety net in sight—but God reached down from heaven, scooped Jonah up, and placed him safely in the belly of a very large fish! 

Jonah’s near-death experience caused him to break out into a hymn of praise even while he was in the middle of the digestive system of the enormous fish. Because Jonah worshipped the Lord, the Lord spoke to the fish to get rid of Jonah! Not only did this massive sea monster vomit Jonah up—but he vomited him onto perfectly dry ground. 

When the Lord convinced Jonah to listen to and obey His voice, it wasn’t just about Jonah. It was about God’s heart for those who were lost in sin. The same is true for you. When God wants you to hear His voice and obey His instructions, it is not just about you, but it is also about the people in your world who are in desperate need of a Savior.


Don’t ignore your Nineveh but make a fresh commitment today to embrace your calling and your destiny. Like Jonah, you have been appointed to speak God’s Word to this group of people by your walk and by your words.


The Ninevites repented, and the Lord spared them! And God used a stubborn dude named Jonah to accomplish this. It is reassuring to know that God still uses people who have rejected Him and who have tried to run away from Him. God uses broken, ordinary people for His divine purposes.
