Jonah 2
Jonah in the belly of a fish. His prayer and his release
1 And the Lord did come a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights. 2 And Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, and said
3 I cried to the Lord from the depths of my distress, and he m ' responded, from the bowels of hell I cried, and you heard my voice. 4 Thou hast cast into the heart of the sea current and surrounded me all your all your waves and billows have passed over me. 5 And I said, I am driven far away from your eyes! As yet I would see your holy temple? 6 The waters surrounded me from to the soul, the deep surrounded me; algae I have twisted the head. 7 I am down to the roots of the mountains and the earth with her bars me locked up forever, but you have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God! 8 When my soul fainted within me, I am reminded of the Lord, and my prayer came up to you, in your holy temple. 9 Those who honor lying vanities forsake the source of their grace 10 but I t'offrirò sacrifices, with hymns of praise, will fulfill the vows I made. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
11 And the Lord gave the order to the fish and the fish vomited Jonah on dry ground.
Jonah ran away from the LORD, and an entire crew risked his life for his sake. So had the foresight to be thrown into the sea, because only so the Lord would have calmed the waters.
So who has the courage to Prendes responsibility for his actions, he already knows he has to pay.
Often people think that God's forgiveness takes to make a perfect white dress dirty easily and immediately. Is not so ... forgiveness is often just the beginning of profound changes: Who will get the grace of God is not immune to adversity.
Indeed, the courage to confess their sins, also implies the awareness of suffering for having committed certain acts.
3 I cried to the Lord from the depths of my distress, and he answered me; from the bowels of hell I cried, and you heard my voice. 4 Thou hast cast into the heart of the sea, the current surrounded me and all your waves and all thy billows have passed over me. 5 And I said, I am driven far away from your eyes! As yet I would see your holy temple?
abyss of the sea a desperate cry came from the lips of Jonah. He was probably having fun? Certainly not! He realized that the Lord was to throw into the sea, which was his hand to move the current and he was driven from his presence.
The sinner cries when he realizes to be in the midst of trouble and do not have the Lord at his side. The Lord moves the sky as the surrounding of our lives and makes sure that man can think of belong to a God, but that is not in his presence.
7 I am down to the roots of the mountains and the earth with her bars me locked up forever, but you have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God!
Jonah cried and the Lord answered! There is nothing to understand, da aggiungere o togliere: Giona gridò e l'Eterno rispose!
Il Signore allunga la sua mano al cuore contrito e all'integro non per forma, ma per confessione.
Nessuno di noi si può ritenere giusto, ma pentito sì. Ricordiamoci però che per esserci un pentimento, ci deve essere anche la consapevolezza di aver sbagliato in qualcosa.
8 Quando l'anima mia veniva meno in me, io mi son ricordato dell'Eterno, e la mia preghiera è giunta fino a te, nel tuo tempio santo.
Il valore della difficoltà noi do not understand it until you get the pearl of the course.
It appears to us as an obstacle to curse and quite uncomfortable, but behind the obstacle is always the reward.
The man who does not want to suffer is just an illusion, while the wise man also knows how to draw joy from suffering.
When our soul is lost, and our mind recalls the Lord, our prayer goes up to heaven and is heard.
