The waters rose to choke me to death. The sea was closing in around me— seaweed tightened around my head. I sank down into the abyss, to the roots of the mountains, where the barred gates of that realm would lock me in forever. But you, YAHWEH, are my God; you raised my life from the pit. When my life was ebbing away, my thoughts turned toward you. My cries rose before you in your holy, heavenly temple, and my prayer entered your heart, YAHWEH. It’s true—some abandon faithful love to you by worshiping worthless idols. But I will sing songs of praise and offer my sacrifices to you. I will keep every vow I’ve made to you, YAHWEH, for salvation comes only from you.” So YAHWEH spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land.

In this 4-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson teaches through the book of Jonah. This plan will help you see God’s faithfulness, and that no one is beyond His grace and mercy.
Jonah’s story reminds us that God’s compassion extends to both the prideful prophet and the wicked unbeliever. Despite all of Jonah’s resistance and hard-heartedness, God’s merciful message of repentance was still delivered to the Ninevites. The Ninevites' repentance shows us nothing can thwart God's plans of redemption.
