Fish bile sanctuary – Paul Cumin

Text: Jonah 2

 

Sometimes the very least appealing circumstances can be the most holy. Jonah is now in his famous position – inside the fish – and what does he do there? He prays. And his prayer is not a lament or a complaint, it’s gratitude and praise. This part of the story of Jonah is an invitation to reimagine the connection between unpleasant circumstances and our attitude toward God.
