Knowledge and Understanding

Happy is the man who finds wisdom; and the man who gains understanding. Get wisdom; and get understanding. In reading and studying the Word; we get to know and understand the Father's GRACE. Our Lord desires for us to know Him and He wants to know us.

Thus says the Lord:
That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

Our Father is moved by arepentant heart

 17 And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 1:17


 The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head 6 at the roots of the mountains.

I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, 

O LORD my God. 7 When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.

8 Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay.


Salvation belongs to the LORD!”


10 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land. Jonah 2:5-10


The people in the ship repented and asked God to save them. They then threw Jonah into the sea and the Lord kept him in the belly of the fish for 3 days. I can't help being reminded of our Saviour who was in the grave for 3 days.


We are like Jonah going our own way, often not willing to do the will of the Father. But our Father is always waiting for a repentant heart and willing to give us another chance. Truly only He can save and continue to save because of His steadfast love for us.
