We Can Run But We Can’t Hide

Remember the story of Jonah and the big fish? God wanted him to go to the enemy’s city and preach against it. Yikes! Jonah did what we would probably do- he tried to get as far away from Nineveh as he could. The storm came up big time and Jonah realized he was to blame so he offered himself as a sacrifice. The big fish gobbled him up as soon as he hit the water. Sound familiar? It does for me. When ever I have tried to run in the opposite direction from what I know I should be doing I have always ended up learning a lesson the hard way. My person problems are allowed by God and He will always find a way around my resistance. Eventually a solution is brought about by God – not me. Now I have learned to surrender. Earlier!
