Jonah’s story begins similarly to many other Old Testament stories, with a message from God. But this message was unexpected and unwelcome.
While we prefer God’s messages to be safe and manageable, He rarely communicates with us that way. His leading and prompting is usually disorienting because we can’t understand the complete plan of what He’s up to.
God’s voice rarely tells you to play it safe, stay comfortable, or get more of what you want. More often it forces you to face your fears and demons and take an action you would rather ignore.
What is something you feel like God has been saying to you lately? How have you responded? Are you in denial, thinking, “It can’t be God?” Are you ignoring him because you don’t like what he’s saying? Are you obeying?
God is speaking. Are you listening?
After you finish reading, be sure to listen to the daily podcast episode of Jonah by Daily Faith + Life wherever you listen to podcasts.

About this Plan
Almost everyone is familiar with the man who was swallowed by the whale. But Jonah is much more than a childhood Bible lesson, at its core, it’s a story about a stubborn man and a gracious God. Over the next 7 days, you will read Jonah’s story twice along with some other companion verses.
