Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* MONDAY 22ND JUNE, 2026 *SUB-THEME:* EXAMPLES OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE. *TOPIC:* JONAH *TEXTS:* JONAH 1:1-2, 5-17; 2:10 1. The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2. “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before Me.” 5. All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6. The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe He will take notice of us so that we will not perish.” 7. Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.” They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. 8. So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” 9. He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” 10. This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.) 11. The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?” 12. “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.” 13. Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. 14. Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for You, Lord, have done as you pleased.” 15. Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. 16. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to Him. 17. Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. *JONAH 2:10* 10. And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. *TOPIC:* JONAH *THE MESSAGE:* Nineveh was living in sin and did not deserve God's love and goodness, yet He loved them anyway and sent Jonah to warn them to repent. Jonah decided to go his way, bringing calamity to the ship he boarded. The sailors tried against all odds to save Jonah, but they eventually threw him overboard. God in His providence prepared a great fish to preserve Jonah for three days and three nights, after which he was vomited up on the shore of Nineveh. All these were acts of Grace. It was because of God's compassion that Jonah was not consumed in his disobedience. Are you facing a storm in your life now? God answered Jonah while in the belly of a fish, in the depths of the sea. So, God can answer you in your present predicaments. No circumstance is beyond God's deliverance. *REFLECTION:* Call on Jesus in times of trouble. *PRAYER:* Father, deliver me from all my predicaments, in Jesus' name. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* JOHN 1:16. "From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* Psalm 109-110. 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. ⏤ 1 Peter 2:24 The cross is the only ladder high enough to touch Heaven’s threshold. ⏤ George Dana Boardman O Lamb of God, have mercy upon us. You who sit at the right hand of God and will come in glory to judge the world—have mercy upon us and forgive our sins. We praise You, O Jesus, for Your wonderful condescension, for the priceless sacrifice made by You in accomplishing our redemption, and for the blessed salvation which You have obtained for us. May all that is within us be aroused to praise You. We bow before Your cross, and we remember again what our redemption cost You. We remember Your years of patient humiliation, when You walked this earth, homeless and a wayfarer, with nowhere to lay Your head—that we might have a home in Heaven. We remember Your sufferings at the hands of enemies—that we might have the friendship of God. We remember Your agony in Gethsemane, Your bloody sweat—that we might have quiet peace when we come to die. We remember Your cross, with the unutterable sufferings endured there—that our sins might be forgiven and that we might have eternal redemption through Your blood. We remember Your burial and Your resting in the dark grave—that the grave might no longer have its terrors for us because You have lain in it. We remember, too, Your glorious resurrection—that we might have a living Savior, and that we too might have the hope of resurrection and eternal life. We remember Your ascension to the right hand of God, that we might have a Friend in Heaven to intercede for us and plan for our lives. May these blessed truths be very real to us, and we will praise You forever. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/78/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
