Jonah 1:3

Studie

       

3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah.

Jonah Series, Part 1 of 4 – Running from God

This is part one of four on a series on the book of Jonah. In this first chapter Jonah is called to head east to the city of Ninevah, but instead of going east he flees from God and goes west to Tarshish. When God calls us, He often asks us to come closer to Him, and we run the other way. Why do we do this? As we'll see, in trying to save ourselves we often lose more than we had imagined.
