The Story & Lessons of Jonah
-On Monday, we talked about running from the presence of the Lord and as stated on Monday, we would address this issue again. Going back to when Jonah was on the boat and the storm came upon the sea. The word states, “But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken,” (Jonah 1:4) the key words in this verse is “the Lord sent.” Jonah in, all of his, running shows us that we can’t run from the presents of the Lord.
“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from
thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thy are there. If I take wings in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy
hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”
Psalms 139: 7-10
-When we call ourselves running from the presence of God we are not fooling any one but ourselves. The above verse even states that even if we make our “bed in hell” his presence is there. Where are you going to go? It reminds me of the song "No Where to Run to Baby, No Where to Hide." Lord, keep me mindful that when I try to run from your presence I am only fooling myself.
