Idols

Jonah 1:17 “But the Lord provided a great fish to swallow Jonah…” Jonah 2:7-10 “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered You, Lord, and my prayer rose to You, to Your holy temple. Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the Lord. And the Lord commanded the fish and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.” Question: What

They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth… when God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, He had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction He had threatened.” (Isaiah 57:15)  Brokenness is a choice we must make if we want deeper
