Change is inevitable, and God often disrupts our comfortable routines to accomplish His greater purposes. The Book of Jonah tells the story of a prophet who chose disobedience when God called him to preach to Nineveh, the brutal capital of the Assyrian empire. When Jonah fled in the opposite direction, God used a storm and pagan sailors to redirect him back to his calling. Even Jonah's disobedience led to the sailors' conversion, showing that God can use anything for His purposes. The great fish that swallowed Jonah represents God's unexpected salvation - just like the gospel itself, it defies human logic but demonstrates God's grace.
