Until you admit that you run from God, you can’t know him or find him. You’re not just a troubled person. You’re not just a hurting person. You’re not a self-sufficient person. Primarily, you’re running.
Every one of us has unique, habitual ways of hiding and running away from God. Until you know what yours are, until you see them, you can’t really grow as a Christian. And that’s what the book of Jonah is about: it’s about Jonah running and God chasing.
Let’s look at 1) the storm God sent and 2) Jonah’s response to the storm.
This Month's Featured Book
Tim and Kathy Keller wrote The Meaning of Marriage to face the complexities of commitment with the wisdom of God. It's written to help spouses use biblical wisdom to grow through the trials of matrimony, but it also gives people who are single a realistic yet glorious view of what marriage is and can be.
