RECOVERING YOUR LOST MISSION

God had a mission for Jonahâs life. A mission that was designed for Jonah specifically, encompassed how he was wired, and centered on the genuine needs of others. Oh ... and it was seemingly impossible and very inconvenient. So Jonah, Godâs prophet, did what many of us do. He ran the opposite way. The story of this book is the story of opportunities, of running away, of second chances, of discovering whatâs most important.

July 9: What Are You Running From?

Jonah 1    The "Word of YHWH" comes to Jonah (as it comes to all of us) and he turns the other way. God gives Jonah a mission, an opportunity to do good, to bring healing to a very diseased place in the world. Jonah's response? Run the opposite direction. What is your âNinevahâ -- Godâs mission for your life? Where is your âTarshishâ -- what do you run away to? Who are you effecting by running away?
