When Jonah made the decision to flee from God’s call, God did not choose to send someone else. Instead He sends the perfect storm; He employs the wind to bring order out of Jonah’s chaos. By interrupting Jonah’s plans to flee, God is saving him. Like Jonah who slept during the storm in the inner most recesses of the ship, we sometimes need to be awakened from our spiritual slumber. When the storm hit, the crew of the ship knew it wasn’t just an ordinary storm; the strength and suddenness of it was something they had not experienced before. They knew that something or someone had caused this storm to happen. And Jonah knew it too. God saw his repentant heart and He provided an extraordinary rescue.
