Today's Verse

"But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord along." – Jonah 2:9

While there is still a lot more to Jonah's story then one or two verses, this verse in chapter two is probably one of the most important. It is here that Jonah begins to realize his true calling. It is here that he begins to see past his own selfishness and into the bigger picture. At this point he doesn't realize it yet, but God is teaching him one of the most important lessons a believer will ever learn. It is the lesson that reveals our reason for being. Each of us have been given a specific purpose in life and whether you can see it right now or not, it's there. Jonah makes a solemn promise to "offer songs of praise and fulfill his vow to serve the Lord alone." Today is a great day for us to do the same. - Commentary by: Matthew J. Elliott

Today's Prayer

Father God, today I pray the prayer of Jonah. I will indeed offer my song of praise to You and fulfill my vow in service to You alone. Forgive me and teach me, so that I may serve You in the best way I can. Amen.
