Introduction:
Are you awake?
I don’t mean literally awake, which I’m sure by 2 most of you won’t be.
But are you spiritually awake to the Lord and His plan for your life?
Today we are going to talk about a man who was spiritually asleep to the Lord’s plan for his life.
Body:
Point 1 - Jonah ran from God’s direction
God has a purpose for Jonah and his life, a purpose to reach people with the good news of Jesus.
God has a purpose for each and every one of our lives., to live it in a way that glorifies Him.
When we spiritually sleep, we miss his purpose for us.
Tarshish was used in scripture to explain the furthest place one could go.
It’s used here to say that Jonah tried running as far from God’s plan as possible.
In the midst of our spiritual sleep, we tend to run towards the things and places of this world instead of the things and places of God.
Are you awake?
Point 2 - God sent a storm
In Jonah’s running from God, the storm came.
In our spiritual sleepiness we often blame God for the storms in our lives, while in reality our sin is what caused that.
Jonah was so comfortable in his running from God that he fell into a deep sleep.
Sometimes we are so comfortable in our sin that we live our life like we didn’t just disobey God.
Are you awake?
God sent a fish
The Lord sent a fish for Jonah.
Jonah was only able to stay alive because of the Lord’s power.
In our spiritual sleepiness, when we try to get out of storms we rely on our own power so we don’t see the way out that the Lord is providing.
Are you awake?
Conclusion:
The fish was not a source of pain and punishment but a source of salvation and a way out for Jonah.
I don’t believe the Lord does anything by accident or that you are here by accident.
Maybe this lock-in is your way out of your spiritual sleepiness and today you need to trust in the Lord for salvation and wake up.
Are you awake?
