Who am I that you take care of me?
Who am I that you think of me?
The God of all Goodness and Grace.
Always doing us good.
Even though we may not see it today.
If we are following God,
we will be influenced by that Goodness.
We will resolve to follow further, deeper in.
But it's not just a decision!
It is Grace!
May we not miss the Grace of God
in all our little big problems.
Those times when a whale swallows us.
May we pray like Jonah to resist the idols
and receive the Grace & Goodness of God!
Jonah 2:8

forsake their hope of steadfast love.
Jonah 2:8.
The basis of the spiritual life is humility. Not the haughty attitude that I know what is right and I am going to let you know. May we not distance ourselves. May we not miss Your Grace & Goodness! Even in the belly of a whale. And that's about the toughest circumstances around. No light. No exit. No advocate. No explanation. No way out. Unless God does something. And He did.
