When Jonah literally hits rock bottom, God rescues him and redirects his thoughts and actions. God can hear your prayer, save you, and create space for you to listen to and obey him, even when you are at your lowest point.

Jonah rejects God’s call to preach to the city of Nineveh and finds himself floating in a sea of regret. Don’t try to outrun God’s purpose for your life; it is futile and often costly for you and for those around you.

Walking in the Spirit is essential to making decisions both big and small. As we learn to rely on God instead of ourselves, we will see his work in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

Our bad choices may have hard consequences, but God is still sovereign over the lives of his children. God can redeem anything if we turn to him wholeheartedly.

The key to a life full of God’s best is obedience to his Word. When we put God and his ways first, the other parts of our lives fall into place.

Before they were given the name Christians, early believers in Jesus were called followers of “The Way.” We can walk in God’s way for our lives when we follow Jesus in a personal relationship.
