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.

Discontent

Grumbling
against
leadership.

And
wilderness
living conditions.

Discontent
“if only”s
en route to
the promised land.

Discontent.

Turn your eyes

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus.” 

The simplest act. To move my gaze. 

From the task. Pain. Problems. Ordinary ins and outs of every day.

It’s easy. No complicated checklist required.

And yet…

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
