So, Jonah.
Now Jonah, he hears from God, crosses his arms and stomps off in the other direction. Gets on a boat, runs into a storm, gets tossed over board, swallowed by a large fish, and after three days is vomited up in the right direction.
I don't know about you, but this sort of story makes me want to be super careful about hearing and obeying God's voice. I don't need to be anybodies indigestion... or you know.
The words on my heart are:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3 :5-6
I have also the inclination to be seeking first the kingdom of God, befriending faithfulness, and waiting.
So what does that mean?
A friend told me recently that it is better (in the context of dancing) to lead someone who will move with you, and a mentor suggested that ships are easier to steer when they are in motion than when they are still.
But how does that relate to being still and knowing that my Lord is God?
How to best be wise in this situation? How to trust and seek first the kingdom in this situation?
God alone knows.
I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice. Because He listens to my cries for mercy therefore I will call on Him all the days of my life. Ps 116:1-2
