Jonah 1:3
But Jonah ran
away from the LORD
And headed to
Tarshish.
The voice in my head sounds something like this…..
There is no way…..
God couldn’t be telling me…..
Are you kidding me…. Really God… You want me to…..
And off I go to Tarshish.
I wonder what it is…..
What it is I might have heard from Jesus….
But instead, turned away……
And headed off to my Tarshish...
My place……… of escape.
I even wonder if maybe……..
Maybe I have become so accustomed to running…..
That I scarcely hear from Jesus at all.
He starts….. I run……
He begins with a word…..
Immediately I turn a different direction.
Reason, logic, busyness, food, lust, work..…….
Anything to drown the voice of God.
Guys,
He is calling us.
He’s calling us to join Him.
He’s calling us to participate......
He’s calling us to participate in the Life…….
He will bring to Nineveh.
Can we stop being afraid of what He might say?
Wait….
What’s that I hear….
Could it be……
Nahhhhh…..
Oh….. look at what time it is…….
Man…… I’d better get going……So much to do……
I wonder what the weather will be like today…..
I hope it doesn’t storm.
Father, Lord
Jesus, Holy Spirit,
Give us the
courage to hear from You.
Give us the
faith to follow You……
Even to our
Nineveh.
Amen
