God's plan doesn't always match ours. When it doesn't our devotion to God is tested. God had told Jonah to go in one direction and Jonah went in the opposite direction. And Jonah ran into a storm. The times you didn't do what God asked, did you run into a storm? 

   You might not have experienced an external storm, but what about an internal storm? A storm in your soul. One that continues until you submit.

   Like  He did Jonah, God will pursue you. And bring you back.

   Rebellion against God is costly. We lose peace, joy, and opportunities to serve God. 

   Will you want to stand before God and know that your disobedience has led to the loss of eternal rewards?
