Stop Running! Reflecting on the Book of Jonah

As I reflect on the Book of Jonah in the Bible, I realized this book actually gives us a mirror to see how we act in our own lives. God often gives us tasks and purposes in our lives, but like Jonah, we run from them. We create storms and chaos for ourselves through our disobedience.

Oftentimes, rather than crying out to God in the midst of our storms, we turn to other people. But we must realize there is only one God Almighty. There is only One who can save us from the storms of life. Join me today as I explore the revelation tucked in this book.
