When You Run From Who You Are
Jonah’s story isn’t about a man who hesitated.
It’s about a man who ran from who he was called to be.
God gave him a clear assignment:
go to Nineveh.
No confusion.
No ambiguity.
Just obedience.
And Jonah ran in the opposite direction.
Not because he lacked ability.
Not because he lacked clarity.
But because he didn’t like what obedience would require.
Nineveh offended him.
Mercy toward his enemies bothered him.
And stepping into that assignment meant surrendering his pride.
So he fled.
Most of us won’t board a ship to Tarshish.
But we’ve all boarded something — distraction, busyness, comfort, ego — to avoid the version of ourselves obedience demands.
The storm wasn’t punishment.
It was exposure.
The fish wasn’t cruelty.
It was containment.
God wasn’t trying to destroy Jonah.
He was trying to realign him.
And when Jonah finally stepped into his assignment, an entire city changed.
That’s the power of alignment.
Jonah’s adventure was unique.
But the struggle isn’t.
We’ve all felt the tension between who we prefer to be and who we’re called to become.
Significance begins the moment you stop running from your identity and start walking in your assignment.
The question isn’t, “Are you capable?”
👉The question is, “Are you willing?”
