In spite of Jonah’s disobedience (Jonah 1:1-3) and tepid verbal witness (Jonah 1:9), God still brings the sailors to saving faith in the LORD. What’s at stake is not the effectiveness of God’s salvation plan. What’s at stake is the condition of Jonah’s heart! Jonah is cold and indifferent to the spiritual, emotional, and physical peril of the others on his ship. While the sailors toss cargo, cry out for help, and frantically row against the storm, Jonah sleeps. May God awaken us from our slumber! We live in a world of neighbors, friends, co-workers and classmates in spiritual, emotional and physical peril. May God awaken us with hearts full of compassion for those hurting around us.
