Are you running away from God?

A man runs up a beach hill near water while the sun can be seen in the background.

 

Welcome to the second of six in a series about lessons we can learn from Jonah. When we run away from God, it doesn’t just affect us. It involves others, like our family and friends. In a sermon by Alistair Begg on Jonah we hear, “If God says ‘go’ we don’t dare say ‘no!’ ”

But God gives us second chances, even when we do turn away from him. Perhaps it’s time to assess where you are right now. Are you where the Lord wants you to be – or are you running away like Jonah did?

Digging Deeper Questions: 

  1. Are you where the Lord wants you to be – or are you running away like Jonah did? 
  2. If you have run from the Lord, or if you’re running now, who are the sheep in your life that will suffer the greatest? 
  3. As an under-shepherd, how do you keep your eyes on the Good, Great, and Chief Shepherd so as to not run in the wrong direction?
