Jonah was at death’s door…and he knew it. But in those few frantic moments Jonah remembered Who was holding his life in His hands. He remembered God’s great acts he had witnessed in the past…he remembered that his God was faithful, and that nothing could separate him from God…even a situation like he found himself in. And so he called out to God for deliverance & mercy, and God met him there. What we can learn from this is to never stop praying for that unsaved loved one and that even a sincere prayer whispered with those last few breaths still counts for eternity. (Romans 8:33-39 & James 5:16)
