God calls each of us to do something greater in His Kingdom...He REALLY calls us - He talks to us. Sometimes He whispers, and sometimes He makes it obvious for us to hear Him. Either way, He's still calling us to obey Him. To obey God is quite simple, but we make it complicated. We might not like to admit it, but we really do. Jonah initially refused to obey the mission God enlisted Him to do - to go to Nineveh. The job was simple. Instead, he thought it would be better for him to head to Tarshish, which was definitely the total opposite from Nineveh. Sigh, I don't know what Jonah was really thinking. Seriously dude, why waste your time to ship yourself far away when you know that God has the power to carry you back where He wants to you to be? (this is where you can picture me getting irritated and talking with my hands for this single moment) It makes me laugh, because WE do that everyday too! The next time we know God is calling us to be a light to someone we know or to a random stranger we might meet in a subway, obey His calling. Also, don't think that someone else will do the job better than us or think that there will be another opportunity. When He calls, we need to leave our life of denial, our selfish desires and our rebellious ways behind us. We need to open our hearts in obedience to first repent, return to His calling and then share that light to others around us.
