Do I show up when God calls or do I run and hide? Moments that Matter, Christian Questions
As a prophet of God, Jonah was bound to go where God told him to go and relay God’s words. God told him to go and preach to the city of Nineveh because they were evil and idolatrous bullies and that they would be destroyed in 40 days. In a recent podcast we observed that while seemed simple enough, Jonah had a problem.
Instead of obeying, Jonah ran away from God’s command and tried hiding from him on a ship. Now, trying to hide from God is about as effective as a little kid covering their own eyes and thinking you can’t see them. Jonah would find himself in the belly of a fish that God had prepared. No more running, no more hiding.
