Jonah Pt. 3: Running from God: Lessons from Jonah's Escape

In Part 3 of our Jonah devotional series, we examine Jonah 1:3, where the prophet does the unthinkable—he runs away from God’s call. Instead of going to Nineveh, Jonah boards a ship headed in the opposite direction.

This passage raises challenging questions:
🔹 Why do we resist God’s direction in our lives?
🔹 What does it look like to "flee from the Lord" today?
🔹 How does avoidance create more baggage than obedience?

Jonah’s story reminds us that running from God never leads to freedom—only to greater struggle. Whether through distraction, denial, or outright rebellion, we all face moments where we’d rather choose our own path. But as we’ll see, God doesn’t abandon Jonah—and He won’t abandon us.

Join us as we explore the futility of running from God and the grace that meets us even in our resistance.
