Jonah 1:1-3

1. God directs specific people to do specific things in specific places (Jonah 1:1-2).

2. God is keenly aware of people's sinfulness (Jonah 1:2).

3. Don't try to avoid what God wants you to do (Jonah 1:3). Obey Him!

When you try to avoid what God wants you to do:

1) You go down spiritually.

2) You pay the price.

3) You end up away from the Lord.
