What You See on This Page
The page features the title “Jonah being thrown out of the boat” with the Scripture reference Jonah 1:15 displayed at the top.
On the left side of the page, a wooden boat is shown tipping slightly above the waves. Two sailors lean over the edge, arms extended, as Jonah falls into the sea. Jonah is illustrated mid-fall, arms outstretched, with water splashing around him as he hits the waves. His expression shows surprise and distress, while the sailors look down from the boat.
The right side and lower portion of the page remain largely open, with only simple wave lines visible. This open space is intentionally left unfinished so the user can draw the rest of the storm—dark clouds, heavy rain, lightning, the great fish beneath the water, or any other elements that help complete the story visually.

Why Devotional Drawing?
Devotional drawing slows down the reading of Scripture. Instead of simply moving past the story, you step into it—imagining the wind, the waves, and Jonah’s prayer that would soon follow. Drawing helps deepen attention, strengthen memory, and create space for honest reflection on God’s Word.
