But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.

‘Tis
the treasure I’ve found in His love
That has made me a pilgrim below;
And ‘tis there, when I reach Him above,
As I’m known, all His fullness I’ll know.

When a Fish “Caught a Man” |
 “One
day a man traveling on a train began to discuss the
Bible with a Christian seated next to him. “If
you can prove to me that Jonah was swallowed by a whale,
I’ll believe all the rest of the Bible,”
he said. “What do you think of Christ?”
asked his companion. Surprised by the strange rejoinder,
the first man exclaimed, “That’s beside
the point.” “Oh no, it’s not,”
replied the other. “Tell me, do you think Christ
was wise?” “Yes,” he said, “I
think He was the wisest Man who ever lived.” “Well,
He believed what you call ‘a fish story,’
for see what He said in Matthew 12:40.” The unbeliever
was amazed to find that the passage read, “For
as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly
of the great fish, so shall the Son of man be three
days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
“You see,” said the Christian, “Jesus
believed the account of Jonah!” “Thanks,
Mister,” was the reply. “That’s proof
enough for me!”
Some
people say there isn’t a creature in the sea
that is capable of performing such a great feat. Scientists
know better. For instance, in 1912, Captain Charles
Thompson harpooned a huge mammal off the coast of
Florida which, when it was brought to land, was found
to contain another 1500-pound fish that had been devoured
whole. Those who examined Thompson’s catch said
it could have swallowed twenty average-size men!
To
avoid Jonah’s difficulties, stay in the will
of God.
Out
of the will of God there can be no success; in the
will of God there can be no failure.
