- 0:12Speaker 1: two and one says, in my distress, I called to
- 0:15Speaker 1: the Lord, and he answered me from deep in the
- 0:19Speaker 1: realm of the day, that I called for help, and
- 0:21Speaker 1: you listened to my crime. You know it takes boldness
- 0:27Speaker 1: of faith to do as Jonah did and ask for
- 0:30Speaker 1: God's favor when you know you to messed up and
- 0:32Speaker 1: in spite of your mistakes. You've read the story about Jonah.
- 0:38Speaker 1: The Lord gave this message to Jonah's son of a Midtide,
- 0:42Speaker 1: get up and go to the great city of Nineveh,
- 0:45Speaker 1: announce my judgment against it, because I have seen how
- 0:49Speaker 1: wicked it's people are. But y'all know Jonah. Jonah got
- 0:53Speaker 1: up and went in the opposite direction to get away
- 0:55Speaker 1: from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa,
- 0:58Speaker 1: where he found a ship leaving for Tarsish. He brought
- 1:02Speaker 1: a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from
- 1:04Speaker 1: the Lord's salling to Tarsish. Well, y'all know that big
- 1:09Speaker 1: old prepared fish swallowed him up. Y'all. Jonah had disobeyed
- 1:14Speaker 1: God's word to go to Nineveh, and it was at
- 1:20Speaker 1: that moment he said today's scripture. In my distress, I
- 1:24Speaker 1: called to the Lord and he answered me. From deep
- 1:27Speaker 1: in the realm of the dead, I called for help,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and you listen to my crime, y'all. He was inside
- 1:33Speaker 1: the belly of the fish. I'm sure every thought was
- 1:37Speaker 1: telling him, this is what you deserved because you disobeyed God.
- 1:42Speaker 1: God is finished with you. But instead of feeling guilty
- 1:45Speaker 1: and condemned, you know what Jonah's attitude was. God, I
- 1:49Speaker 1: was wrong, but I believe you will bring me out
- 1:52Speaker 1: of this pit and help me to fulfill my destiny.
- 1:57Speaker 1: That's exactly what God, in his great mercy did for
- 2:00Speaker 1: Jonah and set him a second time to Ninevah, listen
- 2:07Speaker 1: to me today. Listen to me with your good ear.
- 2:10Speaker 1: You may have gone the wrong way, you may have
- 2:13Speaker 1: done the wrong thing, but God is going to give
- 2:16Speaker 1: you another chance and even another chance to fulfill his
- 2:20Speaker 1: best plan for your life. If you start to honor
- 2:24Speaker 1: God right where you are, being your best, serving others,
- 2:28Speaker 1: and doing your best at all times in spite of
- 2:33Speaker 1: your past, the right doors will open, the right people
- 2:37Speaker 1: will show up. God knows how to make up for
- 2:40Speaker 1: the lost time. He can still get you to where
- 2:43Speaker 1: you're supposed to be. Oh Father, God, thank you that
- 2:47Speaker 1: when we make mistakes and bring trouble upon ourselves, you
- 2:50Speaker 1: cover us with your mercy. You give us second chances. God,
- 2:53Speaker 1: help us to remember your compassion and that we are
- 2:56Speaker 1: still your children. Even when we mess up. God, we
- 3:00Speaker 1: believe you'll get us to where we're supposed to be.
- 3:02Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, Now that's your word for today. I
