Are you moving like Jonah?

Now we have been told the story of Jonah being swallowed by the whale/ fish. However, it was told most of us are familiar. If you aren't go read his story, even if you were told as a kid go read it as an adult. I read it now and laugh like Jonah was crazy. Not only did he do the complete opposite of what God told him to do. When he was found out because it brought a deadly storm, he told them to throw him off the ship. He wouldn't even just get off because was the problem. He sat in the whale for 3 days and 3 nights and it literally dropped him off to where God told him to go. He finally did what God told him to do and was made that God didn't destroy the people smh.

Jonah's story is an extreme example. There have definitely been times when God spoke to me about something, and I did the opposite because I couldn't make sense in my mind of how this could be that. We are thinking, how can it happen in my own strength? It can't. With God's hand on it anything is possible. We are literally alive daily with something we need but can't see. The air God created for us to breath. We have to trust him as effortlessly as we trust air will be provided daily.

Is there something that God is talking to you about right now? You can't see it happening or you being able to do it. So, you just chose to do nothing or worse run and do the opposite of his instruction? God is all knowing. He literally wrote the blueprint for your life. Before you move like Jonah and have to be sat down and redirected just make it easier on yourself and be obedient the first time. I won't say doing the right thing will be easy, but it will be beneficial for you and others.
