Jonah had it easy. He was a prophet; respected in a nation he loved. His life made sense… until it didn't. When God came to him with an unexpected request and asked him to go to a place he never wanted to go; to a people he despised. Jonah had reasons logical ones, earthly ones, reasonable ones. Yet God saw through different eyes and had different plans. You see, God wasn't just calling Jonah; he was preparing to move an entire city. First Jonah had to let go of comfort, he had to let go of his own plans. Maybe you're in that place; comfortable and settled. However, God is tapping you on your shoulder and calling you where you would never want to be.

What if your yes unlocks freedom and joy for “Those people.” Yes, it will be difficult, it will probably stretch you, and maybe it will even hurt a little, But God often works through our pain and obedience to bring better lives for others in some unexpected ways.

Are you willing to step out?
