Great Lengths
AUG 17, 2023
Today’s Scripture
Psalm 139:8, NIV
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
Today’s Word
If you have read the book of Jonah, you know that when God told Jonah to go and preach repentance to the city of Nineveh, Jonah went the other way. Yet God didn’t say, “I’m done with you, Jonah. You’re on your own.” Instead, God had a big fish already in place to rescue Jonah when he was thrown overboard. It swallowed him up, carried him to his destination like a cruise liner, then spit him up on shore. God gave him another chance. This time Jonah went, got back on course, and fulfilled his purpose.

You may be thinking you’ve made so many mistakes that you’ve missed your destiny. If you only knew what great lengths God is going to go to get you back on course. If you only knew there are great fish waiting to rescue you, to protect you, to bring you back into your purpose. You can’t outrun the mercy of God. You can’t get too far away, too far down, but God is there. Start dreaming again, start hoping again, start believing again.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that when I’ve made mistakes and gone my own way, You didn’t say, ‘Too bad that you messed up. Now you’re on your own.’ Thank You for Your mercy that covers me and gives me second chances. I believe You will get me to where I’m supposed to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
