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

Salvation belongs to the Lord!” 

Jonah 2:9 ESV

O – Jonah offers adoration and worship to God. He will fulfill his promise to God. Deliverance is God’s to give.  In Chapter 1, Jonah had an identity in God.  Now, he is showing his trust in God.  Note:  Interesting that his response of sacrifice and vow is the same as the sailors on the ship in Chapter 1 after throwing him overboard.

A – When we move from identity in God to relationship, faith, love and hope become the foundation.  All of these point to a greater trust in Him.  We can confidently put our trust in Him because we know he wants what is best for us.  Jonah knew God would deliver him from the fish and that he would be able to fulfill his sacrifice and vows.

R – Lord, there are so many questions we face every day.  Thank you for the confidence to see each situation with the Holy Spirit as our guide and comforter.  We put our trust in you today.
