Running From God's Calling

I want to take us back in time to a place centuries before Jesus. This was a time when God would use specific men, set apart, to speak to the nations, of both blessings and judgement, and from their writings we can even today reflect God’s love, care, and discipline for us. Jonah the son of Amittai, was instructed by God to get up and go to the city Nineveh. Jonah responded to God in a way that I think most of us can, have and probably will identify with — “But Jonah rose up to flee.” Jonah 1:3
