Running with God (Day 3 of 4--facebook series)

Jonah Day 3: Running WITH God. You can run FROM God successfully for a while but that will result in you running INTO God (that' s called prayer). Jonah 3 can be described as running WITH God. Jonah was given a second chance to run WITH God. I believe in a God of second chances-look at the lives of Jacob, Abraham, Moses, David, Mary, Peter, Paul, John-Mark. We run WITH God, in faith, because, "it is impossible to please God without faith..God rewards those who sincerely seek him" (Heb.11.6). In Jonah 3 God gave his servant the exact same order He gave in Jonah 1. My observation: God's second chances often involve us doing what God always intended for us to do. ForJonah, it was delivering a hard sermon to a rebellious people. If you are having a hard time WITH God, it may be that God has already spoken to you and is waiting on YOU! When you do what God has already asked of you, the heavens may open and you may get your next assaignment from God or merely hear, "well done,friend!"
