The prophet Jonah is noted for running from the call of God
and finally caught up in the belly of a great fish. The Bible teaches that God
prepared this fish to swallow Jonah. This is an act of love. God insisted on
Jonah walking in the perfect will of God. He (God) then had to allow a fish to
swallow him (Jonah) to draw his attention not to harm him. Many a time God
blindfolds His children just to get their attention but as often as He tries
the devil steps in to cause them to harden their hearts.
There is a clear
distinction between God drawing our attention and temptation. God never tempts
us neither can any man tempt HIM. Temptation is to cause the victim to stumble
and backslide but God intentions are pure, to bring you unto an expected end.
