Today's Scripture *April 1, 2009*
Jonah 1:14-16
Then they cried out to the Lord, Jonah’s God. “O Lord,” they pleaded, “don't make us die for this man’s sin. And don't hold us responsible for his death. O Lord, you have sent this storm upon him for your own good reasons.” Then the sailors picked Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once! The sailors were awestruck by the Lord’s great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him.
Jonah had disobeyed God. While he was running away, he stopped and submitted to God. Then the ship's crew began to worship God because they saw that the storm had stopped.
God is able to use even our mistakes to help others come to know Him. It may be painful, but admitting our sins can be a powerful example to those who don't know God. Ironically the pagan sailors did what the entire nation of Israel would not do--prayed to God and vowed to serve Him.
Thank You Jesus for Your life-giving Word!
May we turn to You no matter what mistakes we've made.
No matter how bad we think we've messed up--You can and You will use everything to the good of those who love and serve You!
May our lives be used as examples to bring others into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
In His Name, Amen..
God bless you!
