Running to God

Running from God left Jonah sinking beneath the sea, with no way to save himself. God appointed a great fish, not to pay Jonah back, but to bring His rebellious prophet back. From inside it, Jonah confessed his false worship, cried to God, and learned that salvation belongs to the Lord. Jesus entered the deeper pit of death for guilty sinners and rose again, so shame need not keep anyone away. Turn to God with humility and confidence in His undeserved grace.
