Those of you who
follow my writing or have heard me speak know that one of my bedrock beliefs is
that when God calls we should answer the call and the more uncomfortable the
call makes us the more important it is to answer that call. The reason is that God has identified a new
way he would like to bless us if we will only let Him by answering the call.
I've heard the story
of Jonah since I was a kid and I had never make the connection. Take a look.
Jonah 1:1-3(NKJV)
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. He went down to Joppa, and
found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to
go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
This was all about
Jonah not answering the call and even worse, trying to evade the call. Too cool!
