IF THE SHIP YOU ARE BOARDING DON'T TAKE YOU TO DO GOD'S WILL; THEN GET OFF!!!

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1: 3

TODAY'S POST:  Jonah FOUND; (say found) a ship that was headed AWAY; (say headed away) from where God had commanded him to go.  Let me tell you something, Satan isn't up to any new tricks.  He is always going to have a vehicle ready that will take you away from God's plan.  It might be a new boyfriend, a old friend that doen't want to see you saved, or a situation that tempts you to compromise or  to turn back on God.  Whatever he tries to use just remember this; it is your choice to board the ship.  By Jonah paying his fare for the ship he was deliberately doing his own thing.  By him doing this he was causing a negative consequence which was to cause his own storm.  We  can't expect anything less if we insist on doing things our own way instead of what God told us to do. 

Think of this:  God ALREADY knew when he had instructed Jonah to go to Nineveh; that he wouldn't go initially/the first time.  So by this time when he was boarding the ship God probably was saying to Himself----Jonah, Jonah, Jonah!  SMH; Must I teach you the hard way? 

We too are sometimes soooo strong willed too; thus we will have to go through SOME UNNECESSAY STUFF (perhaps even a violent storm like our brother Jonah went through.)  However; if we come out better for it then it is worth God's efforts to teach us. 

Please Repost; to help me spread the Good news! 

  HEAVEN IS THE FINISH LINE! DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FINISH THE RACE. LET NOTHING STOP YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET TIRED, REST BUT DON'T QUIT! KEEP PRESSING ON!!!
