Vows to Share

Jonah 1-4; 2 Timothy 2 

“Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him…’What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the Lord!’”

Jonah 1:15, 16; 2: 9

In the storms of life, many have made vows to the Lord. When God gets our attention, we grow in the fear of the Lord. 

However, do we “make good” on what we vowed to the Lord?

When our health improves, the danger passes, or our finances become stable, do we “make good” on what we vowed to the Lord?

Jonah resolved to proclaim, “Salvation comes from the Lord.” He made good on that vow and 120,000 people were saved because they repented of their sin. Some of us have vowed to live on mission with greater boldness and share the salvation we have experienced with those around us.

Are we making good on that vow?

“Lord Jesus, you are salvation. I choose to live on mission with you, for your glory.”
