Jonah 1:17-2:10 - “Then Jonah Prayed”
from Faith Sermons Hosted by Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church
Pastor Scott McArthur Old Testament Reading Psalm 138 Summary: God preserves disobedient Jonah by appointing a great fish to swallow him after the sailors cast him overboard, showing his sovereign, redemptive purpose even amid rebellion. From the fish's belly Jonah prays, moving from hard-hearted flight to confession, thanksgiving, and renewed obedience, and the Lord commands the fish to vomit him onto dry land toward Nineveh. This pattern points forward to Christ's death and resurrection, the ultimate deliverance for spiritually dead sinners. Whatever despair or waywardness we face, we must not despair or grow bitter, but confess our sins, give thanks even in trials, and renew our obedience, trusting that salvation belongs to the Lord.
