 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil[a] has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah rose to flee.. (Jonah 1:1-2) I found it interesting that Jonah’s actions seemed contradictory to the fact that he knew what God required. Points from Jonah: Jonah ran…

He is a Mystery Ecclesiastes 11:5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.
