“I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord†(Jonah 2:9b).
No doubt Jonah had enough time to realize his need to repent. God called and he ran. He had sinned against God and had a contrite spirit. He told God he was sorry and was willing to make restitution.
We have the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sin. We should be willing to repent and do God’s Will, following Him wherever He leads. Psalms 27:1 states, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?†This should give us confidence to continue to do our part in fully trusting the Lord. When we have that kind of faith, we can truly count on God to do His part. Look what He did for Jonah. Jonah was delivered out of that fish onto dry ground.
The same God who rescued Jonah will make a way for you to escape your trials and problems. Remember, “Salvation is of the Lord!†He will free us from that bondage and we can press on for His glory.
