THE BIBLE MEETS LIFE
When people are in the clutches of addiction counselors will often say that a person has to “hit rock bottom” before anything will change.
The phrase comes from mining.
When miners would hit bedrock they knew their quest for gold or other valuable minerals had come to an end.
In a similar way people hit a low point in their life and realize they must change directions.
When someone hits “rock bottom” they usually wonder, “how did I end up here?”
Adrian Rogers is surely correct when he said, “Sin will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and cost you more than you wanted to pay”.
Jonah the prophet learned this painful lesson.
His rock bottom was in the belly of a whale.
Jonah, a prophet in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, had willingly been used by God to deliver a message of encouragement to his nation (see ).
However, when God commanded him to deliver a warning message to Nineveh, the capital city of Israel’s oppressor, Assyria, Jonah at first refused.
Only later, with reluctance, did Jonah comply with God’s instruction.
What’s a great way to catch your attention.
Jonah 1:1-3
