Jonah

Two Men and Two Boats

Two Men in Two Boats

To the sea one day two men went down

Paul as a prisoner and Jonah skipping town

“I’m out of here!” was all Jonah could say

Then he slept through the storm when he should have prayed

 

But prisoner Paul cried to God in his boat

Till an angel came down with a message of hope

Then with determination he encouraged his friends

Saying Jesus would keep them all safe in the end

 

It took a big fish to get Jonah to go

Tell others of mercy and God’s love for the world

But our friend Saint Paul shows us the right way

That if God sends the storm we must trust and obey!

 

 

 

 

All Puffed Up!

“The majority of pufferfish species are  toxic and some are among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world.”  Wikipedia

We all possess knowledge. But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 1 Corinthians 8:1

This cute but deadly guy was hanging in the gift shop yesterday. We all act a bit like him at times. We think by verbally getting the better of others and proving how smart we are we are making a big splash. But our prickly nature instead of helping anyone it pokes and them injecting the poison of our pride.

But instead of ending up a decoration on some gift shop ceiling we could choose to be like the gentle giant that swallowed Jonah. That mighty fish which could have killed Jonah, instead carried him back to the plan which God had intended all along! What kind of fish do you want to be today?!
