They, too, observed the Lord's power in action, his impressive works on the deepest seas.
Psalm 107:24
Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish.
But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord alone."
Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.
Jonah 2:1, 9-10
Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God.
Hebrews 11:10
Capture a city:
let us prove God there.
Give me a field,
though dry, unpromising and bare.
Sink me a well
to water all this land:
let me draw deep.
And feed me from your hand.
Show me a cave,
remind me of the past:
embrace my exile.
Tell me I'm loved at last.
Safe in the deepening darkness,
uncover a heart that sings.
Feet planted firmly in the ground,
release the nether springs!
Andy Raine, based loosely on Judges 1:12-15
