TRYING TO OUT RUN GOD; TO GET AWAY FROM THE CALL/COMMAND

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:3 But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction IN ORDER TO GET AWAY FROM THE lORD; He went down to the seacoast, to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for TARSHISH.  He bought a ticket and went on board, HOPING THAT BY GOING AWAY TO THE WEST HE COULD ESCAPE FROM THE LORD.  NLT

TODAY'S POST:  Jonah thought that by getting aboard the ship heading to Tarshish that he could out run God.  He wanted to get away from the call or the command of God, but even if Jonah had found himself at the ends of the earth; still God would be there.  There is no place on earth or in heaven that you can hide from God.  For those of you that may be running from the calling or the very thing that God has called you to do; you are only hurting yourself and prolonging the enivitable.  God's calling for  you is not of repentance----meaning God will not change his mind on what he has ordained you to do.  That is up to you if you want to keep running in the oposite direction---but when your time has run out and your number is called; God will ask, "why didn't you do what I commanded you to do? 

You may be in a unnecessary storm right now because  you are now headed in the opposite direction than what God has order you to go.  If you want success in your life; you've got to line up with the Master's plan.  Please let Jonah's story be a great example of what not to do.   The bible says that these stories are here for our example.
