 Did you ruin God's call for your life? Jonah was instructed by the Lord to deliver a message of repentance to the people of Nineveh. But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord. You've heard of Jonah and the whale, but consider also Jonah and the wind. Jonah's means of disobedience was threatened by God's power, but the Lord hurled a powerful wind over the sea, causing a violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart eventually. After being thrown overboard and swallowed by a great fish, Jonah preached the message of repentance that God had given to him for the people of Nineveh. And the people repented. God's calling on your life isn't as fragile as you've been led to believe. No, I'm not encouraging you to walk in disobedience, but consider this. Jonah was running from God's call and still fulfilled it. How much more likely are you to fulfill the call of God as someone who is pursuing it? Trust in God's ability to finish what he starts.
