PHOTO: Do you think the pagan sailors were converted? Reflect on their experience of fear and on how it became a journey towards God.
When the storm first broke, the sailors were described as being afraid (Jonah 1:5); but now, on hearing what Jonah said, notice that they were terrified (Jonah 1:10). What was it that frightened them so much? Jonah had told them earlier that he was running away from the Lord (Jonah 1:10), and now he was declaring that the same God he was fleeing had made the sea and the land. The sailors immediately recognised the importance of those words. They had just encountered the Word of God - which told them about His nature and character - and they were rightfully terrified. This is the proper response to the revelation of God; even the godliest of prophets and apostles fell on their faces when God revealed himself to them (Ezekiel 1:28, Daniel 10:9; Revelation 1:17).
As the waves grew higher, Jonah told the sailors matter-of-factly, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea" (Jonah 1:12). He believed that God would calm the sea and spare the sailors if they threw him overboard, because he thought that God was only pursuing him, not them. Jonah was only partly correct, however, God did indeed calm the sea, but He was after more than just one errant prophet, and He would use the events to turn the pagan sailors to Him. He would open their hearts and eyes, so that they would turn to Him for mercy and salvation.
Ironically, in contrast to Jonah's lack of concern for the Ninevites, the sailors exhibited a decent measure of compassion in not carrying out his suggestion immediately, and did their best to row back to land instead (Jonah 1:13). But the sea grew wilder. The sailors then took the next step in their journey of fear: they began crying out to the Lord (Jonah 1:14). Those who had begun by calling out to their own idols were now calling out to the living God. The gracious God was using the words of a disobedient prophet to lead the pagan sailors to a true knowledge of Him.
From being afraid to being terrified, the sailors then proceeded to fearing God. When they saw the sea grow calm immediately after throwing Jonah overboard, they realised the greatness and reality of his God. And more than just expressing superficial relief, they learned to revere this God: "At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him" (Jonah 1:16). Unlike Jonah, the men's fear of God did not lead them to run away from Him, but to turn to Him in worship. Scholars differ in their opinions on whether the sailors were actually converted, but there is enough evidence in the text to suggest that this was indeed the case.
Struggling in the swirling waters, Jonah did not realise that God had just used him to save the sailors. While the prophet was fighting for his life, the sailors were now worshipping the true and living God who had revealed himself to them. How amazing, that God can use a reluctant, disobedient prophet to carry out His sovereign plans!

Reflect on your own fears, both healthy and unhealthy, and assess how they bring you to God or take you away from Him.
We've seen how the sailor's fear of God led to their salvation, and how Jonah, in contrast, failed to fear the God that he professed in his own doctrine. How can we apply this insight today? Perhaps we can start asking ourselves these questions:
First, do we fear God? Many fears keep us from the one fear that will save us. Such lesser fears may be those of failure, rejection, condemnation, pain, and suffering, or the loss of freedom and possessions. The fear of God, however, removes all other fears. To fear God is to fear nothing else any longer. It is essential in walking with Him. It is the beginning of true wisdom for life (Proverbs 9:10), and it leads us to life (Proverbs 19:23). It keep us from sinning (Exodus 20:20). It is the key to the Lord's rich store of salvation, spiritual knowledge, and wisdom (Isaiah 33:6). It brings intimacy with God, as we see His purposes and plans (Psalm 25:14). It enables us to consecrate ourselves totally to Him and withhold nothing from Him (Genesis 22:12), so that we can truly serve Him (Deuteronomy 6:13).
There is little fear of God today, even though we may profess to fear the Lord and claim to know the importance of doing so. One of the significant characteristics of the New Testament church was that "everyone was filled with awe" (Acts 2:43). The Greek word for "awe" is phobos - from which we get the English "phobia" - which means "fear". Perhaps many Christians have become so accustomed to the words and things of God that there is no more fear of Him in them. We can learn a lesson or two from the pagan sailors who responded to Jonah's words with great, trembling fear.
As the sailors discovered, we must acknowledge to God that "you, Lord, have done as you pleased" (Jonah 1:14). Within a short time, the crucible of the fearful storm had produced a belief, and language, in the sailors that was sound both theologically and liturgically (cf. Psalm 115:3; 135:6). The faithful response of the pagans as depicted in the book of Jonah is not only surprising, but also challenging, when compared with the unfaithful response of Israel and Jonah. But God's pleasure is not just about His sovereignty and will; it is also about our salvation. He is pleased when we turn to Him in faith; it pleases the Father's heart when the prodigals return to Him.
Fear
Fear - A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.
Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
Healthy Fear
Not all fear is harmful, however; there is to be a place in the heart of the Christian for the right kind of fear... - extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power.
When we would like to spent hours in the Park Connector Networks (PCN) for our daily pre-dawn walk and exercises, we would fear the raining weather with flashing lightning and thunders. Beside the weather, we also have fear of those in the forest: Monkeys, stray dogs, monitor lizards, snakes, and falling trees. When we are unable to determine the dangers but already out along the forested road, then praying to the Lord for help has become the usual practice. This healthy fear also enable us to take the available safer path, away from the dangers. When it is already too late, then we will be running intensely towards Him for safety. This is the moment when our fears fully require His supreme power for protection, guidance, and provision of the shelter from all the dangers of nature.
Unhealthy Fear
Fear causes problems to seem greater than they really are
With exaggerated fears of the problems we face, we think the problems are overwhelming. For example, migrating to a faraway oversea country to live and work. We will expect to face language, cultural, and livelihood problems. We may have to leave behind our love ones, friends, and familiar places. We may develop, and are overwhelm by Panic, Phobia, and Psychotic fears, that causes severe mental imbalance leading to disaster.
Fear that prevents us from enjoying the blessings we have and interacting with others:
One who fears cannot be at peace and know true joy. For example, attending Sunday Mass in a church may be a daunting task because we are unable to sing and behave like the others could. We feel uncomfortable, especially having to sit with the "elites". The feeling is the same as an employee sitting beside the CEO of the company. They talk differently, with incomprehensible concepts, and highly theological methodology. It is very stressful, and there is no real peace, and no true joy. So we end up not attending Church's Mass and other events. Those places appear unsuitable for common Christians.
Fear that hinders our ability to be of service to God
Fear of people, fear of failure, often hinder Christians in their service; e.g., personal evangelism, spreading the message and teachings of Jesus Christ to a powerful atheists who are intimidating. It is like talking to lawyers or professional speakers, when in comparison, we can't even speak properly. Intimidating people can cause others to feel helpless and lose their enthusiasm to perform. Because we will ended up being "silenced".
Fear that motivates us to disobey God
Certain fears often prompt us to do things which are displeasing to God. For example, Fear of failure, and rejection by friends, especially the opposite sex. Such fears have often led young people to express inappropriately, get in with the wrong crowd (drinking excessively), and give in to improper sexual advances. In desperation, these fears may drive one to the Church seeking not only Salvation for the soul, but also love for opposite sex. Ultimately facing greater disappointment, and unfruitful accomplishment.
Healthy Fear vs Unhealthy Fear
Healthy Fear is not hard to recognize - there is an external circumstance that warrants fear and helps us to deal with circumstance without being overwhelmed.
Healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose. Healthy fear is stimulated by real threatening danger and then disappears when that danger is no longer present. Being faced with what could be a matter of life or death, healthy fear encourages or requires us to take action. Taking action out of healthy fear rarely results in any feelings of shame. Good reason stands to have been fearful, and the fear-based action had clear motives: to get out of the way of danger.
All other types represent a mental incapacity from mild to severe, and mental imbalance always creates risk and sometimes disaster.
Unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Unhealthy fear is stimulated by perceived or imagined danger - which usually isn’t dangerous at all. While healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose, unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Since there is no clear directive from unhealthy fear, rather than inspiring us to take action it causes paralysis. Neither defending ourselves nor confronting the fear can lead to shameful feelings. Lastly, since there is no real definition of the fear, there aren’t any clear motives for taking action on it. Unhealthy fear is illogical, oftentimes irrational, and mostly without use.
Through recovery, we learn to face our fears - both healthy and unhealthy. We feel equipped to do so because of our trust and faith in God, or the Higher Power of our understanding. It is impossible to be in faith and fear at the same time. If we replace our unhealthy fears with unending faith, we will be amazed by how quickly our fears will fade.
Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God has our best interest at heart. When we doubt that, we are instantaneously in fear. Most of our unhealthy fear comes from an ultimate source of mistrust in God. It’s the impending what if. What if God forsakes me? What if God has forgotten about me? What if God just doesn’t love me? What if I am broken, different, deficient, or not worth the miracle of God’s love and mercy? Shaken to the core of our faithful foundation there is nowhere to go but fear.
Psalm 27:1 illuminates this contradiction, "The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?" Then, Romans 8:31 highlights the indisputable truth: If God is for us who could possibly be against us?
Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers;
Fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals;
Fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable and, most of all; Fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in it’'s God.”

From Fear to Salvation: Conversion of the Sailors [1]
When the sea turned into a cauldron (a situation characterized by instability and strong emotions) of engulfing waves, the sailors lost their courage (Jonah 1:4-5). Experienced as they were, they were shocked by the storm. It looked like it was the end for them. So they tried whatever they could to save themselves. Apart from throwing out the cargo to lighten the ship and increase their chances against the surging waves, they also cried out to their gods, each man to his own god. These sailors were not Jews; as it is often the case today, they were likely a mixed crew of various ethnic groups, each with his own beliefs and religion.

When people are afraid, they naturally call upon the supernatural for help. It has been said that on the battlefield, there are no atheists in foxholes. When the bombs are falling, soldiers cowering in their dugout shelters can do little but pray to be delivered. People stuck in sinking ships and crashing planes are likely to do the same.
Sensing that the storm was no ordinary phenomenon, and that there was something supernatural involved, the sailors decided to cast lots to divine which of them was responsible for the calamity (Jonah 1:7). God clearly directed the result, because the guilty lot fell upon Jonah. As Numbers 32:23 notes, one's sin will eventually find one out. When Achan, an Israelite, plundered some treasures from the city of Jericho - despite God's express prohibitions - he was found out when lots were cast (Joshua 7).

We must give credit to the sailors, however, for not immediately throwing Jonah overboard or beating him to death after they found out that he was the cause of the storm. Instead, they sought to know more about him, asking him a series of questions. "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from?" (Jonah 1:8). Jonah's answer was a simple one: "I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord, the God of Heaven, who made the sea and the dry land" (Jonah 1:9).

Finally, they had no choice and prayed to the Lord to be spared for throwing His prophet into the raging sea. The "hurling" of Jonah into the sea (Jonah 1:15 ESV) thus ended a series of "hurling" actions: God hurling a great wind to produce a violent storm at Sea (Jonah 1:4 ESV), and the sailors hurling their cargo into the sea (Jonah 1:5 ESV). The word used here for "hurled" is also used elsewhere in the Bible to describe how an object such as a spear or javelin is thrown (1 Samuel 18:11; 20:33). In Jonah: A Study in Compassion, Bible scholar O. Palmer Robertson observes that when God does the hurling, "He takes careful aim at the chosen target, and with all his strength he 'hurls' his chosen weapon." [12]

While the prophet was fighting for his life, the sailors were now worshipping the true and living God who had revealed himself to them. How amazing, that God can use a reluctant, disobedient prophet to carry out His sovereign plans! Writer R. T. Kendall notes in Jonah: An Exposition that God can "use a crooked stick to draw a straight line". [14]

Do You Fear God? [1]
We've seen how the sailor's fear of God led to their salvation, and how Jonah, in contrast, failed to fear the God that he professed in his own doctrine. How can we apply this insight today? Perhaps we can start asking ourselves these questions:
First, do we fear God? Many fears keep us from the one fear that will save us. Such lesser fears may be those of failure, rejection, condemnation, pain, and suffering, or the loss of freedom and possessions. The fear of God, however, removes all other fears. To fear God is to fear nothing else any longer. It is essential in walking with Him. It is the beginning of true wisdom for life (Proverbs 9:10), and it leads us to life (Proverbs 19:23). It keep us from sinning (Exodus 20:20). It is the key to the Lord's rich store of salvation, spiritual knowledge, and wisdom (Isaiah 33:6). It brings intimacy with God, as we see His purposes and plans (Psalm 25:14). It enables us to consecrate ourselves totally to Him and withhold nothing from Him (Genesis 22:12), so that we can truly serve Him (Deuteronomy 6:13).

There is little fear of God today, even though we may profess to fear the Lord and claim to know the importance of doing so. One of the significant characteristics of the New Testament church was that "everyone was filled with awe" (Acts 2:43). The Greek word for "awe" is phobos - from which we get the English "phobia" - which means "fear". Perhaps many Christians have become so accustomed to the words and things of God that there is no more fear of Him in them. We can learn a lesson or two from the pagan sailors who responded to Jonah's words with great, trembling fear.

Second, does how we live match what we profess? If we say that God is holy, do we honour Him by ensuring that we pursue holiness even in the smallest details of life? If we confess that God is love and say that He has forgiven us, do we forgive and love others? When we praise God in song and express our thanksgiving and commitment to Him, do we really mean it? Do we take care to turn our promise into daily commitments to the Lord? Or are our songs and promises just empty words? We also need to remember that when we disobey God, we can drag others onto our troubles. Disobedience has social implications for the people around us.

Third, do we care for those who do not know God? Do we pray for them and tell them about God? Or do we sleep spiritually even as they call out in quiet desperation to the gods they know? Do we see them the way God does?

Fourth, do we remember that God extends a gracious and merciful hand even to the worst of sinners? There is a door that all can open to receive God's divine grace. We too may need to open it if we have strayed away from Him. The God who made our hearts wants to dwell there; we cannot relate to God without first offering Him our hearts.

Fifth, are we ready to be used by God? We never know how a word we speak, a book we pass to a friend, or a simple kindness we perform, can be used by God to change someone's life. God is not a passive observer in our lives, but an active and gracious participant. He is constantly working through our acts of obedience - and sometimes disobedience - to accomplish His sovereign will. He can use any situation to do His marvellous work. This does not mean we can run away from God, like Jonah, and expect Him to make good on the situation. Rather, it should motivate us to stay on the road of loving obedience, so that we can work in concert (agreement or harmony) with God's will for us.

As the sailors discovered, we must acknowledge to God that "you, Lord, have done as you pleased" (Jonah 1:14). Within a short time, the crucible of the fearful storm had produced a belief, and language, in the sailors that was sound both theologically and liturgically (cf. Psalm 115:3; 135:6). The faithful response of the pagans as depicted in the book of Jonah is not only surprising, but also challenging, when compared with the unfaithful response of Israel and Jonah. But God's pleasure is not just about His sovereignty and will; it is also about our salvation. He is pleased when we turn to Him in faith; it pleases the Father's heart when the prodigals return to Him.

Fear [3]
Fear - A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.
Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
Healthy Fear [3]
Not all fear is harmful, however; there is to be a place in the heart of the Christian for the right kind of fear... - extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power.

When we would like to spent hours in the Park Connector Networks (PCN) for our daily pre-dawn walk and exercises, we would fear the raining weather with flashing lightning and thunders. Beside the weather, we also have fear of those in the forest: Monkeys, stray dogs, monitor lizards, snakes, and falling trees. When we are unable to determine the dangers but already out along the forested road, then praying to the Lord for help has become the usual practice. This healthy fear also enable us to take the available safer path, away from the dangers. When it is already too late, then we will be running intensely towards Him for safety. This is the moment when our fears fully require His supreme power for protection, guidance, and provision of the shelter from all the dangers of nature.

Unhealthy Fear [3]
Fear causes problems to seem greater than they really are
With exaggerated fears of the problems we face, we think the problems are overwhelming. For example, migrating to a faraway oversea country to live and work. We will expect to face language, cultural, and livelihood problems. We may have to leave behind our love ones, friends, and familiar places. We may develop, and are overwhelm by Panic, Phobia, and Psychotic fears, that causes severe mental imbalance leading to disaster. [4]

Fear that prevents us from enjoying the blessings we have and interacting with others:
One who fears cannot be at peace and know true joy. For example, attending Sunday Mass in a church may be a daunting task because we are unable to sing and behave like the others could. We feel uncomfortable, especially having to sit with the "elites". The feeling is the same as an employee sitting beside the CEO of the company. They talk differently, with incomprehensible concepts, and highly theological methodology. It is very stressful, and there is no real peace, and no true joy. So we end up not attending Church's Mass and other events. Those places appear unsuitable for common Christians.

Fear that hinders our ability to be of service to God
Fear of people, fear of failure, often hinder Christians in their service; e.g., personal evangelism, spreading the message and teachings of Jesus Christ to a powerful atheists who are intimidating. It is like talking to lawyers or professional speakers, when in comparison, we can't even speak properly. Intimidating people can cause others to feel helpless and lose their enthusiasm to perform. Because we will ended up being "silenced".

Fear that motivates us to disobey God
Certain fears often prompt us to do things which are displeasing to God. For example, Fear of failure, and rejection by friends, especially the opposite sex. Such fears have often led young people to express inappropriately, get in with the wrong crowd (drinking excessively), and give in to improper sexual advances. In desperation, these fears may drive one to the Church seeking not only Salvation for the soul, but also love for opposite sex. Ultimately facing greater disappointment, and unfruitful accomplishment.

Healthy Fear vs Unhealthy Fear [5]
Healthy Fear is not hard to recognize - there is an external circumstance that warrants fear and helps us to deal with circumstance without being overwhelmed. [4]

Healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose. Healthy fear is stimulated by real threatening danger and then disappears when that danger is no longer present. Being faced with what could be a matter of life or death, healthy fear encourages or requires us to take action. Taking action out of healthy fear rarely results in any feelings of shame. Good reason stands to have been fearful, and the fear-based action had clear motives: to get out of the way of danger.

All other types represent a mental incapacity from mild to severe, and mental imbalance always creates risk and sometimes disaster. [4]
Unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Unhealthy fear is stimulated by perceived or imagined danger - which usually isn’t dangerous at all. While healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose, unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Since there is no clear directive from unhealthy fear, rather than inspiring us to take action it causes paralysis. Neither defending ourselves nor confronting the fear can lead to shameful feelings. Lastly, since there is no real definition of the fear, there aren’t any clear motives for taking action on it. Unhealthy fear is illogical, oftentimes irrational, and mostly without use.

Through recovery, we learn to face our fears - both healthy and unhealthy. We feel equipped to do so because of our trust and faith in God, or the Higher Power of our understanding. It is impossible to be in faith and fear at the same time. If we replace our unhealthy fears with unending faith, we will be amazed by how quickly our fears will fade.

Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God has our best interest at heart. When we doubt that, we are instantaneously in fear. Most of our unhealthy fear comes from an ultimate source of mistrust in God. It’s the impending what if. What if God forsakes me? What if God has forgotten about me? What if God just doesn’t love me? What if I am broken, different, deficient, or not worth the miracle of God’s love and mercy? Shaken to the core of our faithful foundation there is nowhere to go but fear.

Psalm 27:1 illuminates this contradiction, "The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?" Then, Romans 8:31 highlights the indisputable truth: If God is for us who could possibly be against us?

PHOTO: "Dear Lord, Thank you for letting us learned that you were after more than just one errant prophet, Jonah. You would use the events to turn the pagan sailors to yourself. You would open their hearts and eyes, so that they would turn to you for mercy and salvation. You used the words of a disobedient prophet to lead the pagan sailors to a true knowledge of you. There is enough evidence in the text to suggest that the sailors were actually converted. The sailors were then worshipping the true and living God who had revealed himself to them.
Lord, help us to fear you because, the fear of God, removes all other fears. To fear God is to fear nothing else any longer. It is essential in walking with Him. It is the beginning of true wisdom for life, and it leads us to life. It keep us from sinning. It is the key to the Lord's rich store of salvation, spiritual knowledge, and wisdom. It brings intimacy with God, as we see His purposes and plans. It enables us to consecrate ourselves totally to Him and withhold nothing from Him, so that we can truly serve Him.
Please help us to learn from the pagan sailors who responded to Jonah's words with great, trembling fear.
Help us to live in the way that matches with what we profess, and take care to turn our promise into daily commitments to the Lord. Help us not to disobey God, because we can drag others onto our troubles. Disobedience has social implications for the people around us.
Help us to pray for those who do not know God, and tell them about God. And not to sleep spiritually even as they call out in quiet desperation to the gods they know.
Thank you for extending your gracious and merciful hand even to the worst of sinners, like us. Help us to relate to you by first offering our hearts to you.
We want to be ready to be used by you. You are constantly working through our acts of obedience - and sometimes disobedience - to accomplish your sovereign will. You can use any situation to do your marvellous work. Please motivate us to stay on the road of loving obedience, so that we can work in concert with your will for us.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"

PHOTO: Do you think the pagan sailors were converted? Reflect on their experience of fear and on how it became a journey towards God.
When the storm first broke, the sailors were described as being afraid (Jonah 1:5); but now, on hearing what Jonah said, notice that they were terrified (Jonah 1:10). What was it that frightened them so much? Jonah had told them earlier that he was running away from the Lord (Jonah 1:10), and now he was declaring that the same God he was fleeing had made the sea and the land. The sailors immediately recognised the importance of those words. They had just encountered the Word of God - which told them about His nature and character - and they were rightfully terrified. This is the proper response to the revelation of God; even the godliest of prophets and apostles fell on their faces when God revealed himself to them (Ezekiel 1:28, Daniel 10:9; Revelation 1:17).
As the waves grew higher, Jonah told the sailors matter-of-factly, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea" (Jonah 1:12). He believed that God would calm the sea and spare the sailors if they threw him overboard, because he thought that God was only pursuing him, not them. Jonah was only partly correct, however, God did indeed calm the sea, but He was after more than just one errant prophet, and He would use the events to turn the pagan sailors to Him. He would open their hearts and eyes, so that they would turn to Him for mercy and salvation.
Ironically, in contrast to Jonah's lack of concern for the Ninevites, the sailors exhibited a decent measure of compassion in not carrying out his suggestion immediately, and did their best to row back to land instead (Jonah 1:13). But the sea grew wilder. The sailors then took the next step in their journey of fear: they began crying out to the Lord (Jonah 1:14). Those who had begun by calling out to their own idols were now calling out to the living God. The gracious God was using the words of a disobedient prophet to lead the pagan sailors to a true knowledge of Him.
From being afraid to being terrified, the sailors then proceeded to fearing God. When they saw the sea grow calm immediately after throwing Jonah overboard, they realised the greatness and reality of his God. And more than just expressing superficial relief, they learned to revere this God: "At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him" (Jonah 1:16). Unlike Jonah, the men's fear of God did not lead them to run away from Him, but to turn to Him in worship. Scholars differ in their opinions on whether the sailors were actually converted, but there is enough evidence in the text to suggest that this was indeed the case.
Struggling in the swirling waters, Jonah did not realise that God had just used him to save the sailors. While the prophet was fighting for his life, the sailors were now worshipping the true and living God who had revealed himself to them. How amazing, that God can use a reluctant, disobedient prophet to carry out His sovereign plans!
With the help of a concordance, made a list of what the Bible says about the fear of God.

Reflect on your own fears, both healthy and unhealthy, and assess how they bring you to God or take you away from Him.
We've seen how the sailor's fear of God led to their salvation, and how Jonah, in contrast, failed to fear the God that he professed in his own doctrine. How can we apply this insight today? Perhaps we can start asking ourselves these questions:
First, do we fear God? Many fears keep us from the one fear that will save us. Such lesser fears may be those of failure, rejection, condemnation, pain, and suffering, or the loss of freedom and possessions. The fear of God, however, removes all other fears. To fear God is to fear nothing else any longer. It is essential in walking with Him. It is the beginning of true wisdom for life (Proverbs 9:10), and it leads us to life (Proverbs 19:23). It keep us from sinning (Exodus 20:20). It is the key to the Lord's rich store of salvation, spiritual knowledge, and wisdom (Isaiah 33:6). It brings intimacy with God, as we see His purposes and plans (Psalm 25:14). It enables us to consecrate ourselves totally to Him and withhold nothing from Him (Genesis 22:12), so that we can truly serve Him (Deuteronomy 6:13).
There is little fear of God today, even though we may profess to fear the Lord and claim to know the importance of doing so. One of the significant characteristics of the New Testament church was that "everyone was filled with awe" (Acts 2:43). The Greek word for "awe" is phobos - from which we get the English "phobia" - which means "fear". Perhaps many Christians have become so accustomed to the words and things of God that there is no more fear of Him in them. We can learn a lesson or two from the pagan sailors who responded to Jonah's words with great, trembling fear.
As the sailors discovered, we must acknowledge to God that "you, Lord, have done as you pleased" (Jonah 1:14). Within a short time, the crucible of the fearful storm had produced a belief, and language, in the sailors that was sound both theologically and liturgically (cf. Psalm 115:3; 135:6). The faithful response of the pagans as depicted in the book of Jonah is not only surprising, but also challenging, when compared with the unfaithful response of Israel and Jonah. But God's pleasure is not just about His sovereignty and will; it is also about our salvation. He is pleased when we turn to Him in faith; it pleases the Father's heart when the prodigals return to Him.
Fear
Fear - A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.
Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
Healthy Fear
Not all fear is harmful, however; there is to be a place in the heart of the Christian for the right kind of fear... - extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power.
When we would like to spent hours in the Park Connector Networks (PCN) for our daily pre-dawn walk and exercises, we would fear the raining weather with flashing lightning and thunders. Beside the weather, we also have fear of those in the forest: Monkeys, stray dogs, monitor lizards, snakes, and falling trees. When we are unable to determine the dangers but already out along the forested road, then praying to the Lord for help has become the usual practice. This healthy fear also enable us to take the available safer path, away from the dangers. When it is already too late, then we will be running intensely towards Him for safety. This is the moment when our fears fully require His supreme power for protection, guidance, and provision of the shelter from all the dangers of nature.
Unhealthy Fear
Fear causes problems to seem greater than they really are
With exaggerated fears of the problems we face, we think the problems are overwhelming. For example, migrating to a faraway oversea country to live and work. We will expect to face language, cultural, and livelihood problems. We may have to leave behind our love ones, friends, and familiar places. We may develop, and are overwhelm by Panic, Phobia, and Psychotic fears, that causes severe mental imbalance leading to disaster.
Fear that prevents us from enjoying the blessings we have and interacting with others:
One who fears cannot be at peace and know true joy. For example, attending Sunday Mass in a church may be a daunting task because we are unable to sing and behave like the others could. We feel uncomfortable, especially having to sit with the "elites". The feeling is the same as an employee sitting beside the CEO of the company. They talk differently, with incomprehensible concepts, and highly theological methodology. It is very stressful, and there is no real peace, and no true joy. So we end up not attending Church's Mass and other events. Those places appear unsuitable for common Christians.
Fear that hinders our ability to be of service to God
Fear of people, fear of failure, often hinder Christians in their service; e.g., personal evangelism, spreading the message and teachings of Jesus Christ to a powerful atheists who are intimidating. It is like talking to lawyers or professional speakers, when in comparison, we can't even speak properly. Intimidating people can cause others to feel helpless and lose their enthusiasm to perform. Because we will ended up being "silenced".
Fear that motivates us to disobey God
Certain fears often prompt us to do things which are displeasing to God. For example, Fear of failure, and rejection by friends, especially the opposite sex. Such fears have often led young people to express inappropriately, get in with the wrong crowd (drinking excessively), and give in to improper sexual advances. In desperation, these fears may drive one to the Church seeking not only Salvation for the soul, but also love for opposite sex. Ultimately facing greater disappointment, and unfruitful accomplishment.
Healthy Fear vs Unhealthy Fear
Healthy Fear is not hard to recognize - there is an external circumstance that warrants fear and helps us to deal with circumstance without being overwhelmed.
Healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose. Healthy fear is stimulated by real threatening danger and then disappears when that danger is no longer present. Being faced with what could be a matter of life or death, healthy fear encourages or requires us to take action. Taking action out of healthy fear rarely results in any feelings of shame. Good reason stands to have been fearful, and the fear-based action had clear motives: to get out of the way of danger.
All other types represent a mental incapacity from mild to severe, and mental imbalance always creates risk and sometimes disaster.
Unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Unhealthy fear is stimulated by perceived or imagined danger - which usually isn’t dangerous at all. While healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose, unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Since there is no clear directive from unhealthy fear, rather than inspiring us to take action it causes paralysis. Neither defending ourselves nor confronting the fear can lead to shameful feelings. Lastly, since there is no real definition of the fear, there aren’t any clear motives for taking action on it. Unhealthy fear is illogical, oftentimes irrational, and mostly without use.
Through recovery, we learn to face our fears - both healthy and unhealthy. We feel equipped to do so because of our trust and faith in God, or the Higher Power of our understanding. It is impossible to be in faith and fear at the same time. If we replace our unhealthy fears with unending faith, we will be amazed by how quickly our fears will fade.
Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God has our best interest at heart. When we doubt that, we are instantaneously in fear. Most of our unhealthy fear comes from an ultimate source of mistrust in God. It’s the impending what if. What if God forsakes me? What if God has forgotten about me? What if God just doesn’t love me? What if I am broken, different, deficient, or not worth the miracle of God’s love and mercy? Shaken to the core of our faithful foundation there is nowhere to go but fear.
Psalm 27:1 illuminates this contradiction, "The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?" Then, Romans 8:31 highlights the indisputable truth: If God is for us who could possibly be against us?
Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers;
Fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals;
Fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable and, most of all; Fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in it’'s God.”

Do you think the pagan sailors were converted? Reflect on their experience of fear and on how it became a journey towards God. With the help of a concordance, made a list of what the Bible says about the fear of God. Reflect on your own fears, both healthy and unhealthy, and assess how they bring you to God or take you away from Him.

From Fear to Salvation: Conversion of the Sailors [1]
When the sea turned into a cauldron (a situation characterized by instability and strong emotions) of engulfing waves, the sailors lost their courage (Jonah 1:4-5). Experienced as they were, they were shocked by the storm. It looked like it was the end for them. So they tried whatever they could to save themselves. Apart from throwing out the cargo to lighten the ship and increase their chances against the surging waves, they also cried out to their gods, each man to his own god. These sailors were not Jews; as it is often the case today, they were likely a mixed crew of various ethnic groups, each with his own beliefs and religion.

When people are afraid, they naturally call upon the supernatural for help. It has been said that on the battlefield, there are no atheists in foxholes. When the bombs are falling, soldiers cowering in their dugout shelters can do little but pray to be delivered. People stuck in sinking ships and crashing planes are likely to do the same.
Sensing that the storm was no ordinary phenomenon, and that there was something supernatural involved, the sailors decided to cast lots to divine which of them was responsible for the calamity (Jonah 1:7). God clearly directed the result, because the guilty lot fell upon Jonah. As Numbers 32:23 notes, one's sin will eventually find one out. When Achan, an Israelite, plundered some treasures from the city of Jericho - despite God's express prohibitions - he was found out when lots were cast (Joshua 7).

We must give credit to the sailors, however, for not immediately throwing Jonah overboard or beating him to death after they found out that he was the cause of the storm. Instead, they sought to know more about him, asking him a series of questions. "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from?" (Jonah 1:8). Jonah's answer was a simple one: "I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord, the God of Heaven, who made the sea and the dry land" (Jonah 1:9).

When the storm first broke, the sailors were described as being afraid (Jonah 1:5); but now, on hearing what Jonah said, notice that they were terrified (Jonah 1:10). What was it that frightened them so much? Jonah had told them earlier that he was running away from the Lord (Jonah 1:10), and now he was declaring that the same God he was fleeing had made the sea and the land. The sailors immediately recognised the importance of those words. They had just encountered the Word of God - which told them about His nature and character - and they were rightfully terrified. This is the proper response to the revelation of God; even the godliest of prophets and apostles fell on their faces when God revealed himself to them (Ezekiel 1:28, Daniel 10:9; Revelation 1:17).

As the waves grew higher, Jonah told the sailors matter-of-factly, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea" (Jonah 1:12). He believed that God would calm the sea and spare the sailors if they threw him overboard, because he thought that God was only pursuing him, not them. Jonah was only partly correct, however, God did indeed calm the sea, but He was after more than just one errant prophet, and He would use the events to turn the pagan sailors to Him. He would open their hearts and eyes, so that they would turn to Him for mercy and salvation.

Ironically, in contrast to Jonah's lack of concern for the Ninevites, the sailors exhibited a decent measure of compassion in not carrying out his suggestion immediately, and did their best to row back to land instead (Jonah 1:13). But the sea grew wilder. The sailors then took the next step in their journey of fear: they began crying out to the Lord (Jonah 1:14). Those who had begun by calling out to their own idols were now calling out to the living God. The gracious God was using the words of a disobedient prophet to lead the pagan sailors to a true knowledge of Him.

Finally, they had no choice and prayed to the Lord to be spared for throwing His prophet into the raging sea. The "hurling" of Jonah into the sea (Jonah 1:15 ESV) thus ended a series of "hurling" actions: God hurling a great wind to produce a violent storm at Sea (Jonah 1:4 ESV), and the sailors hurling their cargo into the sea (Jonah 1:5 ESV). The word used here for "hurled" is also used elsewhere in the Bible to describe how an object such as a spear or javelin is thrown (1 Samuel 18:11; 20:33). In Jonah: A Study in Compassion, Bible scholar O. Palmer Robertson observes that when God does the hurling, "He takes careful aim at the chosen target, and with all his strength he 'hurls' his chosen weapon." [12]

From being afraid to being terrified, the sailors then proceeded to fearing God. When they saw the sea grow calm immediately after throwing Jonah overboard, they realised the greatness and reality of his God. And more than just expressing superficial relief, they learned to revere this God: "At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him" (Jonah 1:16). Unlike Jonah, the men's fear of God did not lead them to run away from Him, but to turn to Him in worship. Scholars differ in their opinions on whether the sailors were actually converted, [13] but there is enough evidence in the text to suggest that this was indeed the case.

Struggling in the swirling waters, Jonah did not realise that God had just used him to save the sailors. While the prophet was fighting for his life, the sailors were now worshipping the true and living God who had revealed himself to them. How amazing, that God can use a reluctant, disobedient prophet to carry out His sovereign plans! Writer R. T. Kendall notes in Jonah: An Exposition that God can "use a crooked stick to draw a straight line". [14]

Do You Fear God? [1]
We've seen how the sailor's fear of God led to their salvation, and how Jonah, in contrast, failed to fear the God that he professed in his own doctrine. How can we apply this insight today? Perhaps we can start asking ourselves these questions:
First, do we fear God? Many fears keep us from the one fear that will save us. Such lesser fears may be those of failure, rejection, condemnation, pain, and suffering, or the loss of freedom and possessions. The fear of God, however, removes all other fears. To fear God is to fear nothing else any longer. It is essential in walking with Him. It is the beginning of true wisdom for life (Proverbs 9:10), and it leads us to life (Proverbs 19:23). It keep us from sinning (Exodus 20:20). It is the key to the Lord's rich store of salvation, spiritual knowledge, and wisdom (Isaiah 33:6). It brings intimacy with God, as we see His purposes and plans (Psalm 25:14). It enables us to consecrate ourselves totally to Him and withhold nothing from Him (Genesis 22:12), so that we can truly serve Him (Deuteronomy 6:13).

There is little fear of God today, even though we may profess to fear the Lord and claim to know the importance of doing so. One of the significant characteristics of the New Testament church was that "everyone was filled with awe" (Acts 2:43). The Greek word for "awe" is phobos - from which we get the English "phobia" - which means "fear". Perhaps many Christians have become so accustomed to the words and things of God that there is no more fear of Him in them. We can learn a lesson or two from the pagan sailors who responded to Jonah's words with great, trembling fear.

Second, does how we live match what we profess? If we say that God is holy, do we honour Him by ensuring that we pursue holiness even in the smallest details of life? If we confess that God is love and say that He has forgiven us, do we forgive and love others? When we praise God in song and express our thanksgiving and commitment to Him, do we really mean it? Do we take care to turn our promise into daily commitments to the Lord? Or are our songs and promises just empty words? We also need to remember that when we disobey God, we can drag others onto our troubles. Disobedience has social implications for the people around us.

Third, do we care for those who do not know God? Do we pray for them and tell them about God? Or do we sleep spiritually even as they call out in quiet desperation to the gods they know? Do we see them the way God does?

Fourth, do we remember that God extends a gracious and merciful hand even to the worst of sinners? There is a door that all can open to receive God's divine grace. We too may need to open it if we have strayed away from Him. The God who made our hearts wants to dwell there; we cannot relate to God without first offering Him our hearts.

Fifth, are we ready to be used by God? We never know how a word we speak, a book we pass to a friend, or a simple kindness we perform, can be used by God to change someone's life. God is not a passive observer in our lives, but an active and gracious participant. He is constantly working through our acts of obedience - and sometimes disobedience - to accomplish His sovereign will. He can use any situation to do His marvellous work. This does not mean we can run away from God, like Jonah, and expect Him to make good on the situation. Rather, it should motivate us to stay on the road of loving obedience, so that we can work in concert (agreement or harmony) with God's will for us.

As the sailors discovered, we must acknowledge to God that "you, Lord, have done as you pleased" (Jonah 1:14). Within a short time, the crucible of the fearful storm had produced a belief, and language, in the sailors that was sound both theologically and liturgically (cf. Psalm 115:3; 135:6). The faithful response of the pagans as depicted in the book of Jonah is not only surprising, but also challenging, when compared with the unfaithful response of Israel and Jonah. But God's pleasure is not just about His sovereignty and will; it is also about our salvation. He is pleased when we turn to Him in faith; it pleases the Father's heart when the prodigals return to Him.

Fear [3]
Fear - A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.
Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
Healthy Fear [3]
Not all fear is harmful, however; there is to be a place in the heart of the Christian for the right kind of fear... - extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power.

When we would like to spent hours in the Park Connector Networks (PCN) for our daily pre-dawn walk and exercises, we would fear the raining weather with flashing lightning and thunders. Beside the weather, we also have fear of those in the forest: Monkeys, stray dogs, monitor lizards, snakes, and falling trees. When we are unable to determine the dangers but already out along the forested road, then praying to the Lord for help has become the usual practice. This healthy fear also enable us to take the available safer path, away from the dangers. When it is already too late, then we will be running intensely towards Him for safety. This is the moment when our fears fully require His supreme power for protection, guidance, and provision of the shelter from all the dangers of nature.

Unhealthy Fear [3]
Fear causes problems to seem greater than they really are
With exaggerated fears of the problems we face, we think the problems are overwhelming. For example, migrating to a faraway oversea country to live and work. We will expect to face language, cultural, and livelihood problems. We may have to leave behind our love ones, friends, and familiar places. We may develop, and are overwhelm by Panic, Phobia, and Psychotic fears, that causes severe mental imbalance leading to disaster. [4]

Fear that prevents us from enjoying the blessings we have and interacting with others:
One who fears cannot be at peace and know true joy. For example, attending Sunday Mass in a church may be a daunting task because we are unable to sing and behave like the others could. We feel uncomfortable, especially having to sit with the "elites". The feeling is the same as an employee sitting beside the CEO of the company. They talk differently, with incomprehensible concepts, and highly theological methodology. It is very stressful, and there is no real peace, and no true joy. So we end up not attending Church's Mass and other events. Those places appear unsuitable for common Christians.

Fear that hinders our ability to be of service to God
Fear of people, fear of failure, often hinder Christians in their service; e.g., personal evangelism, spreading the message and teachings of Jesus Christ to a powerful atheists who are intimidating. It is like talking to lawyers or professional speakers, when in comparison, we can't even speak properly. Intimidating people can cause others to feel helpless and lose their enthusiasm to perform. Because we will ended up being "silenced".

Fear that motivates us to disobey God
Certain fears often prompt us to do things which are displeasing to God. For example, Fear of failure, and rejection by friends, especially the opposite sex. Such fears have often led young people to express inappropriately, get in with the wrong crowd (drinking excessively), and give in to improper sexual advances. In desperation, these fears may drive one to the Church seeking not only Salvation for the soul, but also love for opposite sex. Ultimately facing greater disappointment, and unfruitful accomplishment.

Healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose. Healthy fear is stimulated by real threatening danger and then disappears when that danger is no longer present. Being faced with what could be a matter of life or death, healthy fear encourages or requires us to take action. Taking action out of healthy fear rarely results in any feelings of shame. Good reason stands to have been fearful, and the fear-based action had clear motives: to get out of the way of danger.

All other types represent a mental incapacity from mild to severe, and mental imbalance always creates risk and sometimes disaster. [4]
Unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Unhealthy fear is stimulated by perceived or imagined danger - which usually isn’t dangerous at all. While healthy fear recedes after it serves its purpose, unhealthy fear tends to carry on because there is no real end goal. Since there is no clear directive from unhealthy fear, rather than inspiring us to take action it causes paralysis. Neither defending ourselves nor confronting the fear can lead to shameful feelings. Lastly, since there is no real definition of the fear, there aren’t any clear motives for taking action on it. Unhealthy fear is illogical, oftentimes irrational, and mostly without use.

Through recovery, we learn to face our fears - both healthy and unhealthy. We feel equipped to do so because of our trust and faith in God, or the Higher Power of our understanding. It is impossible to be in faith and fear at the same time. If we replace our unhealthy fears with unending faith, we will be amazed by how quickly our fears will fade.

Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God has our best interest at heart. When we doubt that, we are instantaneously in fear. Most of our unhealthy fear comes from an ultimate source of mistrust in God. It’s the impending what if. What if God forsakes me? What if God has forgotten about me? What if God just doesn’t love me? What if I am broken, different, deficient, or not worth the miracle of God’s love and mercy? Shaken to the core of our faithful foundation there is nowhere to go but fear.

Psalm 27:1 illuminates this contradiction, "The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?" Then, Romans 8:31 highlights the indisputable truth: If God is for us who could possibly be against us?

Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers;
Fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals;
Fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable and, most of all; Fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in it’s God.” [3]

PHOTO: "Dear Lord, Thank you for letting us learned that you were after more than just one errant prophet, Jonah. You would use the events to turn the pagan sailors to yourself. You would open their hearts and eyes, so that they would turn to you for mercy and salvation. You used the words of a disobedient prophet to lead the pagan sailors to a true knowledge of you. There is enough evidence in the text to suggest that the sailors were actually converted. The sailors were then worshipping the true and living God who had revealed himself to them.
Lord, help us to fear you because, the fear of God, removes all other fears. To fear God is to fear nothing else any longer. It is essential in walking with Him. It is the beginning of true wisdom for life, and it leads us to life. It keep us from sinning. It is the key to the Lord's rich store of salvation, spiritual knowledge, and wisdom. It brings intimacy with God, as we see His purposes and plans. It enables us to consecrate ourselves totally to Him and withhold nothing from Him, so that we can truly serve Him.
Please help us to learn from the pagan sailors who responded to Jonah's words with great, trembling fear.
Help us to live in the way that matches with what we profess, and take care to turn our promise into daily commitments to the Lord. Help us not to disobey God, because we can drag others onto our troubles. Disobedience has social implications for the people around us.
Help us to pray for those who do not know God, and tell them about God. And not to sleep spiritually even as they call out in quiet desperation to the gods they know.
Thank you for extending your gracious and merciful hand even to the worst of sinners, like us. Help us to relate to you by first offering our hearts to you.
We want to be ready to be used by you. You are constantly working through our acts of obedience - and sometimes disobedience - to accomplish your sovereign will. You can use any situation to do your marvellous work. Please motivate us to stay on the road of loving obedience, so that we can work in concert with your will for us.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"
