Jonah 3 The time it took to get through

Jonah 3

The time it took to get through the city of Nineveh is the time taken inside the fish, v3
By the time the third day came inside the dark and smelly prison Jonah must have been thinking he would have nearly completed preaching in the city.
The time, energy and resources you use avoiding certain tasks God asks of you is at times the same if you had gone and done it in the first place.

The third day is completed often because of the impact of the first day. On the first day Jonah started to preach and the message spread like a fire, to the people, then to the king who through a decree then reached the whole city. Today is the first day. What you do today impacts your third day.
Let the first day, today, be all that it can be. Give, think of others, lay down your life and the powerful third day will come.

We are people of the third day, just like Jesus.
