On The Run

In some form or another, all of us are “runners.” Some of us actually run physically and may even compete doing so. Some just go to the gym or own a treadmill. But there are many of us who run in a spiritual sense, often from our own past, pain, memories, or mistakes. Some of us run from our very lives with spouse, kids, job, you name it! All of us, though, run from God. And we aren’t the first by any means.

As we are introduced to Jonah we find that he is running from God, too. But, as we’ll see, when we run from God, God doesn’t necessarily chase us. But God does wait for us and there is no length of time long enough to keep God from bringing us back.
