Morning — October 24 — Jonah 2:4

At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’ — Jonah 2:4Jonah was in the belly of the fish, convinced he'd been cast out of God's sight. Then he says, "yet i will look again toward your holy temple". That's faith in the dark—choosing to look toward God even when every circumstance says he's turned away. Christ descended into the grave so that no matter how deep you've sunk, you can still look toward the temple and find mercy.
