Day 2 – The Storm Reveals the Heart

Day 2 – The Storm Reveals the Heart

Scripture: Jonah 1:4–6

“Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.” (v. 4)

Devotional Reflection:
God doesn't always stop us from running, but He does meet us in the storm. When Jonah fled from God's call, it wasn't smooth sailing. A fierce storm crashed into his plans—not as punishment, but as a redirection. Sometimes the chaos around us is a divine invitation to pause and reconsider.

Notice how Jonah sleeps through the storm while everyone else scrambles to survive. Like Jonah, we can be numb to the wake-up calls in our lives. Yet God is merciful—even the storm is His mercy, sent not to destroy but to awaken.

What are the storms in your life revealing? Are they disruptions—or invitations to return to the One who calms both seas and souls?

Prompt for Reflection:

• What storms have caught your attention lately?

• Is there something God might be saying through them?

• How do you usually respond when your plans get interrupted?
