"Missed The Boat (Jonah)" Dan DeWitt FBC Caney, KS - Ministry Videos

Maybe he was tired. Maybe he had been busy, stressed, and pulled in a thousand directions. Maybe he was like us and what he wanted more than anything was to sit down and rest for a while. Maybe he wanted some serious R & R. Maybe Jonah was burned out and needed a break. Who knows? For whatever reason, when God came to Jonah and told him to “get up and go,” the assignment received a somewhat less than enthusiastic response. He didn’t miss the boat, he REJECTED the boat and said “no” to God.

How would you respond if God told you to get up and go? Would you do it? Would you respond in obedience and say “yes?” Or would you be like Jonah and miss the boat? Would you tell God “no way”? What is your answer to God’s call?
