Jonah 1:1 (NKJV) Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah ...
A popular Christmas song starts, "Do you hear what I hear," indicating an understanding or hearing that others may not be attuned to. Jonah writes of his experience in running from the voice of God, denying His will and ultimately seeing Him save those despised, because Jonah finally obeyed.
Many today are in exactly the same condition, hearing and denying, knowing and controlling their own lives. God has called us to surrender to His will not ours, He is seeking those who will obey without the least concern for the outcome or the personal profit. He fits us for the journey, He calls and prepares the willing not the qualified. Have you too heard the voice of God and turned instead to your own devices, STOP, He is waiting for you to turn and heed, so that the windows of Heaven may be opened to you.
Heavenly Father help us to listen, help us to carefully seek You and obey the call to service. May all who seek You listen to the voice of reason in this your SEASON. Amen
