Genesis 2 - 1

You may remember the story, Jonah went down to Joppa, then down to the ship, then down into the hold of the ship, then down into the stormy sea as the crew threw him overboard, and finally down into the belly of the great fish. Jonah thought he was as far from God as any man could be. Nevertheless, the Bible says, “the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah.” And even as he was trying to hide from God, God had prepared his own ‘Eden’ - his own perfect place, that is, the perfect place for Jonah, the place Jonah needed to be.
