In these series, we will look at heading and maintaining the course God has for your life and questions to ask yourself to see if you are on track.
2 Chronicles 16:9
“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”
Psalm 37:23
” If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm”
“Dear God, be good to me, the ocean is so big and my ship is small. Be my light and guide me through the thickest of storms.”

We need to chart the course that God has for us. In the story of Jonah and the whale, God told Jonah to go to this wicked city that was full of sinners and tell them to repent. Out of fear that he would be stoned and killed, Jonah disobeyed God and being the smart person he is, choose to run from God.
Jonah managed to go aboard this fishing boat. Then God made the seas very stormy and the fishermen tossed him over to make the storm stop..well cont. next post
We’ll see what happens when God plans a course for us and the storms He sends into our lives when we disobey Him. Remember, God is all knowing and all seeing. He knows our thoughts way before we know them, so running from Him and hiding our sin is totally pointless.
So what are you going to do when God reveals the plan He has for you? Are you gonna follow in the ways of Jonah and run to the life of the world or are you going to step out in faith and be obedient? God strongly supports those who heart is completely His.

Josh, thank you for writing this. We actually just went through this story at church last week – maybe God is trying to tell me something?
Again, thank you. I look forward to what you write next. I have a few ladies at my office reading now.
