Read: Jonah 1

¹⁷ Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Kids love this story. Adults quarrel over whether or not the “huge fish” and Jonah’s experience in its belly was real. But that’s really beside the point. The point is that if you keep on running from the Lord or from what he tells you to do, then you deserve to be in some-stinking-belly-of-a-fish situation. If you are already in it, then do what Jonah did: pray, repent and obey God (see chapter 2).

Trust and obey for that is the best way.
