“The Word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying, ‘Arise, go to Nineveh the great city, and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.’ But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. So he went down to Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.” Jonah 1:1-3


“Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold Thou art there. If I take the wins of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Thy hand will lead me and Thy right hand will lay hold of me.” Psalm 139:7-10


Have you ever sought the will of the Lord? Of course you have, we all have if we are wise children of His. Did you ever get the “wrong answer” according to what you “knew” the answer should be? It is the “wrong answer” because you don’t like the answer or that the answer will take too much time to come to fruition. God IS speaking to you right this moment. If it seems to be the “wrong message” perhaps you really don’t want to listen.
