Unexpected ways

Unexpected ways. How He pierces hearts. Pursues the lost lamb.

Opens eyes to see. And ears to hear.

During our years in a desert city, a believer shares her story. Tells me the very moment she turned and followed Christ. 

Reading Scripture. And not the usual evangelistic passage.

But pointing to the One who is worthy of our praise.

Runaway prophet

Runaway prophet. Jonah. 

Flees something more than a hard assignment. And this catches my eye. 

After the storm at sea. After the big fish swallows him whole. After his vow to obey this time.

Even after he proclaims God’s message. To the great city of Nineveh.

He’s still running. From the heart of the One who comes to seek and to save the lost.
