Fish Friday: Fugitive Jonah

It’s Fish Friday here at Life this Side of Heaven.  No, we’re not having a run on tasty fried fish, but we are taking a look at Jonah, the prophet who tried to run from God. When God told this prophet to get up and go, he got up and went – in the opposite direction and as fast as his feet could carry him. Sometimes, we may also ourselves running from God out of fear and guilt. And like Jonah, God pursues us ... but not necessarily for the reason we expect.
