IF YOU’VE EVER TRIED TO IGNORE the LORD’S commands or silence The Holy Spirit’s conviction, you’ve probably learned the same lesson Jonah did. He disliked God’s instructions and attempted to avoid the unwanted assignment by running away. Jonah soon discovered that you can never outrun God.
Beloved, rebellion toward our Heavenly Father often takes one or two forms: a bold outright refusal to obey His instructions or a more passive approach of quietly pursuing our own agenda while disregarding biblical commands we don’t like.
Whichever route we take, we can’t silence God. His Spirit’s conviction will follow us—even if we fill our life with distractions to help us to ignore Him.
What we must understand is, that God is willing to pursue us, and that can involve stripping away diversions and permitted negative consequences to realign our attention. You say: “But God is a loving Heavenly Father,” that’s true however, He is also a Heavenly Father who disciplines us if we continue down the path and road of disobedience.
The LORD is always with you and I whether our relationship feels tense or peaceful depends on your willingness to do what He has commanded or say. I charge you today, to let Jonah’s example as encouragement to obey promptly rather than waste time running away and suffer/reap the consequences.
Lets Pray
Father, in The Name of Jesus, I surrender my will to You holy Father. I ask that You crucify my flesh this day. Help me to decrease and You increase within me.
May my words and my deeds bring You total glory and honor, amen and amen 🙏🏽
Yours in Christ
