Continuing on from last week: But all this time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold. So, the captain went down after him. “How can you sleep at a time like this?” He shouted. “Get up and pray to your God! Maybe he will pay attention to us and spare our lives.” Then the crew cast lots to see which of them had offended the gods and caused the terrible storm. When they did this the lots identified Jonah as the culprit. When the crew cast lots, they were relying on their superstition to give them the answer. Their system worked but only because God intervened to let Jonah know that he couldn’t run away. “Why has this awful storm come down on us?” They demanded. “Who are you? What is your line of work? What country are you from? What is your nationality?” Jonah answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord the God of heaven who made the sea in the land.” The sailors were terrified when they heard this, for he had already told them he was running away from the Lord. “Oh? Why did you do it?” They groaned. And since the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him, “what should we do to you to stop the storm?” “Throw me into the sea,” Jonah said, “and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault.” Well at least he was honest. In this segment, God is showing us that you cannot run from God. He knows where you are no matter how much you hide, he will always know where you are. Jonah knew that God had a specific job for him but he didn’t want to do it. Tarshish could be one of any number of Western ports in Nineveh which was toward the east. Jonah decided to go as far west as he could. Thanks for stopping by, you guys are awesome! Until next time Lord's willing.
