Fish stories are always questioned. It has been told that that’s what my grandfather did when he listened to a friend who was telling such a tall tale. The friend had bragged that the fish was so large that he struggled to bring it in.
My grandfather said, “That’s nothing. I was fishing once and I pulled in a kerosene lantern and it was lit.”
The friend said, “Now, Tom, that’s impossible.” My grandfather said. “Well, you take six inches off that fish and I will blow out the wick on my lantern.”
Jonah was not swallowed by a whale, but by a fish specifically designed for the wayward prophet to come to his senses. A man could survive for three days and three nights in this divinely-prepared-submarine.
Jonah 1:17
Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Has God prepared any unusual circumstances for you and how long did it take for you to realize it was from Him?
Give it some thought.
