I think we all can relate to this story- I think we know it decent. But God calls Jonah to go to Nineveh and well he decides that isn't in his plans so he goes completely the other way. We know that sometimes Gods plans for us are different that ours and what we want to do. ITs like when someone tells us something that we don't want to hear, do we actually follow through and obey it or take the advice? Its funny yet so true- how many times do we try to escape from the Lord or even hid? Its not even possible!! But we still try
Then as this storm arises Jonah was the one of why this storm was coming- but even when they were talking about it he didn't really fess up to it right away and they drew lots. The thing is like this Jonah had area shared that he was running, often times we share things like this too that we feel something but then don't act on it. But why did the people not remember this before and as it started?
So true to even us- throw me into the sea and it will stop. Well why do they have to throw him? Why couldn't he just jump in? Just wondering- the were still afraid to throw him in but finally did. Then the storm stopped at one and Jonah was swallowed by a great fish as we all know.
The great thing is that through all this and running from the Lord he still protects us and cares for us. He still gives us a way out even if we don't obey and listen. Not only for us but for the people around us. How great is our God and protecting us. He loves us so much- do don't run from the Lord because we can't its impossible but even if we do stray God is still there and looking out for us. So good!
