Jonah heard God’s call and ran away.
Jonah 1:2-3 (NLT)
“Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.”
But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord.
Jonah’s run landed him in the belly of a big fish. In the end, he obeyed God’s call (albeit with a bad attitude).
Sometimes, Lord, I hear Your call and think about running away. Grant me the common sense to obey from the get-go (with an appropriate attitude).
