Thanksgiving from the belly of a fish...

When my life was fainting away,
    I remembered the Lord,
and my prayer came to you,
    into your holy temple.
Those who pay regard to vain idols
    forsake their hope of steadfast love.
But I with the voice of thanksgiving
    will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
    Salvation belongs to the Lord!"
Jonah 2
While Jonah was still in the belly of the fish, he was giving thanks to God. Why? Because he had prayed to God and knew that he would be delivered.  We don't have to have already experienced full release from whatever trial we may be in to have a reason to give GOD thanks.   He is the GOD Who saves. He is our only Hope.
