This is for someone who feels like he or she is drowning.
“Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly. He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me. I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’ The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God. “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple. Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.” Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.” (Jonah 2:1-10 WEB)
Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your challenges and it feels like you’re sinking deeper and deeper without any way of escape.
You may be so stressed out that you feel suffocated and trapped.
The beauty of Jonah chapter 2 is that you see Jonah sinking down and down until he reached the bottom of the sea, but suddenly there’s a turning point.
He seems to stop going down and becomes still when He remembers Yahweh (Jesus).
Then he rises up and is vomited back onto dry land.
Dear brethren, if you feel like you’re sinking, remember Jesus and call upon Him for help.
No matter how deep you are in the sea, your faint whispered prayer can still reach His sanctuary in Heaven. You’re not too far beyond His help.
“If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.” (Psalms 139:9-10 WEB)
Jonah ended his monologue with a declaration that salvation belongs to Yahweh (Jesus).
Salvation doesn’t belong to anything or anyone else. Nothing and no one can save you like Jesus can.
Your fleshly self-efforts are like a metal ball-and-chain tied around your ankles—tiring you out and dragging you lower.
When you give up trying to save yourself, Jesus will quickly pull you out of those deep waters.
If you’ve been consistently going down, there’s good news—the next step is to go up!
Quickly call upon Jesus and He will save you from trouble now.
What does Jesus’ original Hebrew name Yeshua mean? It means Yahweh saves or salvation.
His main mission and identity is to be your Savior, and He is mighty to save!
In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on every one of Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels.

Testimonials for the book:
“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA
“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore

God Always Makes it Worth Your While
“Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.” Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.” When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking. They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.” For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.” When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.” (Luke 5:1-11 WEB)
When there’s a need, God leads His children by the Holy Spirit to be His hands on earth to fulfill that need.
God chooses who to use, and if He chooses you, you have the choice to accept or reject the offer.
Jesus was led by His Father to choose Simon Peter’s boat.
Sometimes we think that serving God means sacrificing, when actually it’s the best investment you can ever make.
By lending Jesus his boat, Peter was sacrificing some time and effort which he could have used on washing his fishing nets or going out for another fishing expedition.
Here he was, doing a voluntary service to Jesus, having to row the boat out without any promise of payment.
Most fishermen would have frowned on this and said that it’s a bad deal.
However every time you say yes to offering your resources to serve Jesus, He will surely restore you with more to make it worth your while.
Remember during His earthly ministry, Jesus did nothing without first being instructed by His Father in Heaven.
“Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” (John 5:19-20 WEB)
Through Jesus, our Abba Father revealed His heart as a generous Rewarder when He gave Peter a miraculous catch of fishes.
God can tell us the right time and right way to receive our restoration blessings. In this case, Jesus said it very specifically—He asked Peter to let down his “nets”.
However, Peter was skeptical about it because he had more faith in his experience as a fisherman than in Jesus’ words.
Peter only let down one net—to test the waters and see if there was any credibility in Jesus’ words.
When God says He’s blessing your fruit orchards, don’t just bring a basket—bring trucks to carry the huge harvest of fruits because you believe that He is a generous God that doesn’t hold back any goodness from you.
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8 WEB)
You can see from this miracle that our Christian life is from faith to faith.
It takes faith to obey the Holy Spirit when He prompts us to serve, and it also takes faith to receive the resultant restoration blessings.
The catch of fishes was so great that it filled both boats—Peter’s and John’s. When we receive God’s blessings through faith, He empowers us to be a blessing to others as well.
If God had just meant to reward Peter, He could have just filled Peter’s boat. But the catch was enough to fill John’s boat as well.
When God’s blessings overflow in your life, remember to share your blessings with others and show them Christian love for Jesus’ sake.

We all need an anchor.
We live in a world where our values, beliefs, and faith are constantly being challenged. Social media has brought on a storm of voices that tell us what to do, what to think, what to say, and even what to look like. Every day, we are confronted with unrealistic standards of success.
As a result, many of us are battling with painful fears and insecurities. Many of us are struggling with low self-esteem. There are those of us who act like we’re doing fine on the outside, but on the inside, we’re dealing with anxiety and depression—our thoughts and emotions being tossed relentlessly by the shame of never being good enough.
That is why it is so important for us to be anchored to something, or Someone, greater than ourselves.
The answer: Get anchored to Jesus.
There is no one else who can bring peace into our hearts. No one else who can banish all fear, self-doubt and shame.
I wrote Anchored with my young adults writing team to bring you 28 simple but powerful thoughts that will ground you in Jesus’ perfect love for you and help you build your identity on His Word. Each thought talks about real issues that we all face and will steady your heart with scriptural truths.
This devotional will introduce you to the peace and stability that you will experience deep down in your soul when you let Jesus anchor your life.
I hope you’ll take some time today to find out more about my new book here at http://bit.ly/2AhIPDn.
