Jonah 2:9
"But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the Lord."
Jonah, right from the beginning of this book had been running from God and the call of God for his life. He now says (after 3 days in the belly of a great fish), "that which I have vowed I will pay." Jonah is now willing to place God's will ahead of his own.
May we not have to reach the bottom in our own lives before we are willing to follow His call, as it could be too late.
The Truth
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
