Jonah Pt. 19 What Are You Clinging To?
In this installment of our Jonah devotional series, we take a closer look at Jonah's prayer of repentance in chapter 2—and why it ultimately doesn’t last. As Jonah cries out from the belly of the fish, he confesses his need for God, yet his struggle with idolatry lingers beneath the surface.
In this reflection, we explore:
- The danger of "good" idols—how even blessings like success, comfort, or security can displace God in our hearts.
- Jonah’s moment of surrender—and how releasing our grip on lesser things opens us to God’s grace.
- Practical steps—spiritual habits like prayer, fasting, and Sabbath that help reorient our hearts toward what truly matters.
Jonah’s story challenges us: What are we clinging to instead of God? And how might we loosen our grip to receive the grace that’s already pursuing us?
Join us as we reflect on this pivotal moment in Jonah’s journey—and what it means for ours.
