July 28
Introduction
While inside the large fish, Jonah prays to God. Jonah’s prayer includes words of praise and thanksgiving, and God rescues him from the depths of the sea.
Scripture Reading
Jonah 2:1-10
Today’s Key Verse: Jonah 2:1b, 2a
Jonah prayed to the LORD his God: “In my distress, O LORD, I called to you, and you answered me.”
Reflect
In 1:17 from yesterday’s reading, we learned that Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights. What do you suppose were Jonah’s thoughts during that time? In his prayer, what does Jonah promise to do? What did Jonah’s prayer reveal about his relationship with God? What does your prayer life say about your relationship with God?
Pray
Lord God, whenever I am in distress, I call out to you. I know that you hear my prayers. Salvation comes from you, O Lord! Thank you for your steadfast love and faithfulness. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Jonah 3:1-10: Jonah obeys God and goes to Nineveh.
