So let’s get this picture into perspective.

Jonah and the Whale Bible Story

You wake up this morning and God tells you to go to a place 2000 miles away and you are to announce to all the people there that the Lord has said, “I am going to destroy you, for your wickedness rises before me; it smells to the highest heaven.”

So how would you respond to this call?

Would you pack up your bags right now and go 2000 miles away to a town or city to tell them they stink and will be destroyed by God?

This is what God asked Jonah to do! Jonah in The Book of Jonah, states in chapter 1 verse 3, “But Jonah was afraid to go and ran away from the Lord.” (good luck with that)

We know the story and how jonah ends up in the belly of a whale.

God will get you to a place to where you must deal with his calling. Jonah had a mighty call to fill, but was afraid. I think we all to some degree may get scared when God has something for us to do. But the truth is, there is blessings and power in following what God has for you to do. It is up to you to abide, and let God’s Holy Power cover you and guide you through the Holy Spirit.

Is God Calling You Now To Something? Are You Listening and Abiding?

This as stated can be VERY challenging. Knowing what God is calling you to do can sometimes be a VERY small thing and other times be very big.

I think that God will first test us in little things to see if we respond before bring us something much bigger to do.
