I love Jonah, because he is a reminder of how we complicate our lives. God sometimes has very simple tasks for us, but because of fear or whatever the reason may be, we run.
Jonah ran from the Lord. He put others in harms way because of his anger and rebellion, He found himself in the belly of a whale all because he did not trust God.
It makes me laugh because when Jonah finally did obey, it took him about 9 seconds to carry out God's will.
He proclaimed, "Forty more days and Nineveh will be over turned".This is all he needed to do to please the Lord, but he chose to complicate his life.
Have you ever found yourself in this situation and why do you think Jonah was so angry with the Lord for saving Ninevah.
