The reading for Thursday, September 28, 2023, is Obadiah 1 - Jonah 2

Obadiah 1 - Jonah 2

Who is Obadiah? I really don't understand his vision. 

As I listen to the story of Jonah, with which I am familiar, this evening, I am reminded of the stormy sea on which Jesus slept in the boat and Paul's shipwreck. Also, this evening, I see Jonah's instruction to the men to throw him overboard as a sacrifice. Jonah did not want them hurt because he was running away from God. 

3 days and nights in the fish remind me of Jesus in the tomb. 

Jonah's prayer and the fish spitting him out remind me of the power of prayer.
