TRYING TO GET AWAY
Today's reading: Obadiah, Jonah, Revelation 5:6-14, Proverbs 28:25-28

"But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction in order to get away from the Lord..." Jonah 1:3 NLT

This portion of this single verse hold so many things within its few words.

It's a warning for those thinking they can run from God's view.

It's a statement that God has indeed given us free wills to do what we want.

It's hope for those who have chosen to step away from God, because by the end of the book, second chances are given freely.

It's blessed assurance for the mommas of prodigals knowing their wandering ones cannot go too far, sin too much or sink too low.

All in this one little verse.
