The example of Old Testament prophet Jonah demonstrates that the most pitiful people in the

world are followers of Jesus who run from God. We become miserable because we have too

much of the world to enjoy God, and we have too much of God to be comfortable with the

world.

Like Jonah, we have had seasons where we have doubted the goodness, the wisdom, and the

justice of God. God told Jonah to go east, and he goes west. God tells him to go by land; and

instead, Jonah goes by sea. God tells Jonah to go a big city, and he buys a one-way ticket to the

furthest known part of the world.

Through this study of Jonah in Run, we see the many reasons why we run from God. At the same

time, we witness God's constant pursuit of us when we run away. Even when we continue to sin,

God runs towards us with His grace.

In this easy-to-read daily devotional, we will see Jonah's racism, toxic nationalism, pride, and

shallow identity that made him run from God. We'll also see how it relates even more so with us

today, nearly 2500 years later.
