"Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 'Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.' But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD."
Jonah 1:1-3a
It is easy to sit in condemnation of Jonah for running away from God's call. It seemed like such an impossible task. If I heard a voice calling me to go to Tehran and proclaim God's judgment against it, I would probably respond the same as Jonah did. Or I would say, as Moses did, "Send Aaron." Sometimes God calls us to do the seemingly impossible. In reality, I sometimes run away from even easy tasks. Obeying God is not always easy. Jonah took what he thought was the easy way out and so do I.
Today's Thought: It is not always easy to follow God's commands.
Have an obedient day. Love you.
