We talk a lot about giving up your life for God, in the Christian faith. I think chapter 2 is the point where Jonah willingly gives up his life. He crossed his breaking point, and now sees that God is so much larger and greater than himself. He is now ready to serve God in whatever facet he needs.
Funny thing is......I make the same choice, and then in about 3 days, I'm back to running my life by my own desires again. It takes something to shake my boots again, and I rededicate........its crazy.
I think rather than beating myself up over it. Its important to know it, own it, and understand that Satan is doing everything he can to cloud my vision and end my dedication to God. I have to daily recommitt.
Today........"as for me and my house, I will serve the Lord God Almighty"
Tomorrow? I will re-dedicate......again!
see that, I remembered a verse that we read. Its working.

I think you are on a roll the last couple days with your takes, and I like recollection of things we have read. I want to be able to recall scripture everyday for all situations. being it the word daily is the only chance of this happening.

I just liked this verse, no specific take.
