The day you find yourself covered in vomit!

We all know the story of Jonah, God tells him to go to the city of Nineveh to preach repentance. He didn’t want to go, so he started running from God. As the story goes he ends up on the beach in a pool of vomit. What do you do when you wake up in life and you fine yourself in a pool of vomit? Not talking about what happens after you have had too much alcohol to drink. I’m talking about the vomit of a Christian life that is so hypocritical, self-centered, and self-reliant. A stinking sticky form of godliness. This is a spuing out of the month of God kind of vomit. I believe this is what Jonah experienced on that beach one day long ago. In all my years of what I thought I was running to God, I was actually running from God. I had my ways, my faith, and my will of God. I had no faith, no reliant, and no power of the Holy Spirit. I didn’t love or tolerate much. Oh I went through the motions of it. And I am afraid there are a lot of people like me. There is a saying that I have come to enjoy. The truth will set you free. Think about that. I was in so much bondage I didn’t realize it. Always concerned about what God was doing or not doing. Keeping the law and expecting others to do the same. God just wants us to be reliant on Him and to have a relationship with Him. He will use you when He is ready.

I am so grateful to have been spued out of the month of God. He wants to use us, but most of us, just are not ready. As Jonah was not ready. God pursued him. Showed him his stinking godliness, and restored him to his purpose. Seek to be shone your true self, it will set you free to do God’s work, weather it is big or small, it all matters in God’s plan and eyes.
