It is funny how, despite Jonah not wanting to preach the Lord to the heathen, he still manages to get the men of Joppa to believe on the Lord God. He is literally the worst prophet and yet God uses him mightily.

Often Christians are reluctant to preach the word to others. We bury our talent of silver. We put our light under a bushel. We flee to Tarshish, running to the things of this world seeking to avoid our responsibility. And even in our dereliction, God uses us to proclaim His truth. How much more so if we let Him shape us into worthy vessels?

We shouldn't need to be swallowed up by a whale to be dragged back to where we need to be to do God's will. But if that's what it takes, He won't hesitate.

It is hard to kick against the pricks, as Jesus said to Saul on the road to Damascus. The Bible says to know to do good and to do it not is a sin.

Make this new year the year you dedicate yourself to doing the will of the Lord. To soul-winning and preaching His word, even to your enemies. To stop running away.

Don't make God send the storm.
