Jona

I am starting to see myself in this man. I too am running from God (1:3). I too am headed the other way. I too am causing harm to those around me, by my destructive rebellion(1:5). Am I going to be cast overboard? (1:12) Is that what it will take? Am I to be a witness by my mistakes, like Jonah? (1:16)
I too only call on God from the belly of the whale...
I too have a flair for the dramatic (4:3). I too am discontented with the way God runs things. I too have a tendency to go away and pout (4:5).
And I too need His mercy(3:10), and patience(4:6-11), as I learn to walk His way.
