The heart of the book of Jonah is not about a fish but a fleeing prophet and a faithful God.

Jonah is about a heart that drifted from obedience. It is about a man who allowed something else to define him more than his calling. It is about compromise, discipline, identity, and mercy. And if we are honest, we will find ourselves somewhere in this story.

Because all of us have had moments when the Word of the Lord was clear and we went the other way.
