It Doesn’t Take that Long

Jonah 1

Sometimes we spend all of our days wasting away in the storms of life. Sleeping. Drifting. Daydreaming. Complaining. It’s such a tragedy.

I am reminded of the “boat people” in the book of Jonah. When the storms of life were raging, they did everything that they knew to do to save their own lives. They sacrificed stuff, worshiped their gods, prayed, casted lots and confronted issues. They even had to confront the Lord’s anointed in order to save their lives and destiny.

As I continue to ponder this short chapter, I came to realize that it doesn’t take that long for God to move on behalf of his people. However, the people of God must be serious about changing and coming into alignment with him.

What are you doing to move God to speak to the winds that are coming up against your life? Are you moving quickly enough to save your own life? Are you even concerned about your destiny? Are you more focused on saving your life or saving you stuff? Have you dropped your little g’s for the big G? Are you willing to throw the people overboard that are causing storms to rage in your life?

It’s all about you. It doesn’t take long to calm your spiritual storms when you are willing to move quickly and do what it takes. Your life depends on it.
