Jonah 1:3 A Runaway Heart
Jonah's decision to run away from the Lord was in stark contrast to what he was supposed to do. He was supposed to obey. He was supposed to go east. Instead, he went west and physically showed that his heart had already run away.
Jonah 1:1-2 Jonah Proves Otherwise
The life of Jonah shows that even when we know exactly what God wants and why, it does not guarantee we will do it. Trusting God takes humility and a willingness to lay aside our desires and agendas. Trying to get God to do what we want and for the reasons we want is the opposite.
