Blessing For TodayMfano

God is Calling 

Jonah was a servant of God and had the call of God in his life. But when God gave him a command to go to Nineveh to preach the gospel, he ran away from His presence. What made him run? In those days, Nineveh was not only the sole enemy of the Israelites but were also oppressors. So, it was seemingly impossible for Jonah to go stand before them and speak against them. Thus, he tried to run away when God called him. But what happened? God pulled him back and put him on the track. 

My friend, sometimes you too may be fleeing from God like Jonah, fearing your circumstances. No matter how far you run, if the Lord has His eye on you, He will pull you back. But also remember that when Jonah was pulled back by God, it was a tedious process. He was thrown into the sea. He was swallowed by a huge fish and was in its belly for three days and three nights. He went through pain and suffering. Yes, when you run away from God’s call, He is going to pull you back through the hard way to put you back on the track. So my friend instead of going through the toughest path, simply surrender yourself to the voice of God and He will direct your path. Choose to be in His presence everyday and He will bless you. 

Prayer

“Loving Father, through the simplest of things You teach us how to obey You. Though I have fled from You till now, this moment I commit to follow You and obey Your voice. Help me Father to accomplish every command of Yours. Give me the grace to be obedient and have courage to face my trials. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.” 

‘You are called to run the race in the right track’
