You cannot run, you cannot hide, from almighty God,
He will chasten you with staff and rod.
As a child of God you may rise, you may fall,
but you must heed to His beckoning call.
God chastens those he loves with circumstance,
you cannot flee from the God of omnipresence.
A certain man sent to Ninevah, Jonah was his name,
was called by God, but Jonah held great shame.
Afraid of the hands of men and their opinion,
so he ran from the power of Gods' dominion.
Imagine this as he fled from his duties role,
God sent a whale upon him to swallow him whole.
For three days in the grotesque belly of this whale,
he came to realize the extent of how he came to fail.
Jonah cried to the Lord by reason of his affliction,
his sins came upon him with great conviction.
Realizing he must fulfill the will of God's calling,
and his ignorance of this became appalling.
God caused the whale to vomit out this man,
now Jonah knew he must follow out God's plan.
So he journeyed to Ninevah to preach God's word,
and by this the people repented and Gods' mercy was assured.
For God had mercy on all their iniquities and sins,
this is the example of turning to God how new life begins.
Just remember you cannot run, you cannot hide from Gods' will,
for no matter what it takes, His will, will come to fulfill.
The perfect will of God will surely never fail,
so if you think your hiding from God,
just remember Jonah and the whale.
Hebrews 12:6
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he recieveth.
