Bible Diary 01
Book of Jonah
Jonah was called by God to preach in Nineveh. But he tried to flee from the presence of the Lord.
He went to Tarshish by the sea.
But Lord's presence is unlimited.
When God brought the tempest to the boat, the only way to calm the sea was by giving up Jonah's heart and his whole self to the Lord.
They sent Jonah off to the water. And the tempest stopped.
When we don't give up our heart and self to the Lord, we are against His will. The tempest and unblessed things come to our life. It's pitiful.
Yet, when we give them up to the Lord, He calms everything and helps us. He brings us to the place He wants us to go and to fare better.
Life is about giving everything to God and let Him do what is best for our life.
