What to learn from Prophet Jonah...

As time passes, we try to step away from God when we feel we have everything. That's the nature of Humans. God doesn't want anyone to be his slave; he wants everyone to be independent and free. Sometimes in our life, there will be questions in our minds whether the things we are doing are right or is it against God's will. So how do we find answers to these questions?

There is only one way to find it. Wait for God. But that's the most challenging part of our life. To wait for something good to happen in our life. Don't worry if God turns you away from your hopes and dreams. It may be unhealthy for you. Just follow the example of Prophet Jonah. Jonah didn't want to go to Nineveh; instead, he wanted something else. But look what God did; God sent exactly where he hated to go. So in our life, we hope for something that we think is good. But God may not give it to us; instead, he will provide something we don't want. But it is for our good. He is a loving God, and thank him for the blessing we have today, even if it is good or bad. He still loves and cares for us; that's what is more than enough for us to live.

I know it's a complicated world to live on, but try to win the race, as Paul said in the bible."I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Now, a crown is waiting for me. I will get that crown for being right with God. The Lord is the judge who judges rightly, and he will give me the crown on that Day. He will give that crown not only to me but to all those who have waited with love for him to come again."(2 Timothy 4:7-8)
