Im not sure who s aid that, but my thoughts today were this: If we always prayed as desperate people do, what could God do for us?
Jonah was in the belly of the fish, when he prayed.
Desperate people dont bargain with God! Look at his prayer!
What happened on 9/11? People all over crowded into churches as if to say, "We're here because we think we need God." But.....what has happened since then? That feeling has disapated.
One other thought. Even in the middle of Jonah's running away from God, God still loved him and saved him from destruction. He prepared a fish, Jonah didnt drown. I think God does all He can possibly do to bring us to salvation! No man can come to God unless the Spirit draw him.
Maybe this hints at the beliefs in open theism again, but God was going to destroy the people Jonah preached to, but when He saw that they turned from their evil lives, He must have changed His mind. Right or Wrong?
