What is your Jonahism?

We all know the story of Jonah, well I hope we all know. If you don't know here is the short version. God spoke to Jonah and told him to go preach to Nineveh because the people there were living in sin. Well, Jonah didn't want to so for some reason he tried to hide from God. Go figure the creator of the universe and you try to hide. Jonah tried to hide on a ship to get away from God. God sent a big wind to toss the ship around, Jonah had to be tossed off the ship to keep it from sinking, and then guess what, a great fish AKA whale comes along and swallows Jonah. Jonah repents and decides to go through with his mission and go preach to Nineveh. You see, Jonah have a mission that God gave him to do, but he was making excuses for why he shouldn't do it, then he decided to run from God. Has God ever given you a mission, or a calling, or even told you to do something and you came up with several excuses of why you shouldn't do it. That sounds like "Jonahism" to me. We make up all kinds of excuses not to do what we know God wants us to do, but remember, even if it takes a Whale or a lifetime, God will always get His way. Jonah found that out first hand. Even Moses tried to make an excuse to get out of what God had for him to do, but God wasn't having it. Join me, Hezekiah L.
