APPLICATION?
1. Think the story of Jonah is a "whale of a tale", take a look at this http://www.reasons.org/articles/a-modern-jonah
2. Are you responding rightly to God's Word? How do you know?
3. Spend some time this week concentrating more on meditation/application of God's Word than just exposure to God's Word.
4. Which of the "ways of Jonah" do you mostly identify with? Pray and talk to God about it.
