"... But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep." -Jonah 1:5
Before Jesus slept on a boat in the midst of a storm, there was Jonah sleeping soundly on a ship in a storm that is threatening to tear it up. Now, who can accomplish such feats? He must either know the master of the storm or he must be a really sleepy man.
Jonah knew who was behind the storm (v9), he knew who was it intended for and most importantly, he knew what was its intent. He shew no fear at all because though all these were directed at him, he knew God is in control and he knows his God.
Does such assuring knowledge of who God is remain a constant in my heart? Can such knowledge calm my timid soul in times of trials? Or will i jump to conclusions that the Lord is now against me?
