The Uncomfortable Calling: The last place Jonah wanted to go was Nineveh. He much preferred Tarshish. He was happy to be the prophet of God, as long as he could choose the place and time. We know how that story turned out. A rather large fish redirected Jonah. Ironically, fish are again the issue when Jesus told four rough fishermen they were to have a new calling & as fishers of men. We cannot choose the place of our obedience. When the Lord of all encounters us with His grace, it may also comes with a call & and usually it is to Nineveh & the one place we’d rather not go. We are sent with the message all Ninevites need to hear, wherever Nineveh might be for us & a message of grace and love and hope & a message so redeeming it takes those of us who are obstinate prophets, and places us back on track.
