A teenager named Miguel was visiting the local jail with my father-in-law's jail ministry. He read a passage from the book of Jonah, then said to the prisoners, "This could be your fish. This time in jail could be the Lord reaching out to you to get you back on track, away from the destiny of your rebellion. Don't stay in the fish."
Which side of the fish are YOU on, in-side or out-side? Have your circumstances hemmed you in, so that you are drowning in a sea of despair? Cry out to the Lord, and let him put you back on His track for your life.
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying, 'I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and He answered me'...And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land."Jonah 2:1, 10
