Hide and Seek

Jonah was a prophet that was running from God. Though God wanted him to go to Nineveh, Jonah had other ideas. It took being swallowed (and puked up on the shores of Nineveh) by an enormous fish before the Prophet was ready to submit to the wishes of the Almighty to also be a missionary pastor. The Heavenly Father did not give up on him. (Check out the whole story in the book of Jonah from the Bible.)

A line from the chorus of the popular worship song, You Won’t Relent by Jesus Culture says, “You won’t relent until You, have it all. My heart is Yours.” I have found the above to be true. When God wishes me to speak with someone (in prayer or blessing), He mentally will not let up until I conform to His request.

If you feel God is chasing you, He probably is. Chances are You know what He wants. There is nowhere to hide that He cannot find you. Give up, and submit now. It won’t get any easier or less stressful. Whatever God wants you to do; He will give you the ability to do it. You’ll be a much happier person if you give in to the Almighty. I speak from personal experience.
