I chose this topic because I was thinking about Jonah and how he was trying to run from God because he did not want to do what God told him to do. He bought a ticket and tried to go to Tarshish but his plan didn’t work. A storm arose on the sea all of a sudden. The crew and the captain of the ship was wondering why everything was going the way it was, all the while Jonah knew why the storm arose, and when they began to talk to Jonah, he told them why the storm arose, he told them what to do for the storm to stop and they did it.
We all know about that story. We all want to do what we want to do except that what God has told us to do. When we do that, storms arise in our life and we don’t understand why at the moment, but when we think about it we realize that it is our own fault. When that happens, God has His own way to make us do what He has told us to do. Just like Jonah, he still ended up doing what God told him to do at first, even though God used a big fish to get him where he needed to be.
TOSSED AROUND
Because we are human beings, we live our life how we see fit, and we do what makes us happy. We experience all sorts of trials in life that we never thought we would. We make decisions we never thought we would make, but through it all we seem to make it through the circumstances being tossed around by life.
I have always heard that life is what you make it, but how do we know what everyday is going to be like, how do we know what tomorrow is going to bring? We wake up to a new day everyday not knowing what’s going to happen, but whatever does happen we learn to make the best of it. There’s so much going on in tbe world today to always be negative. There’s still some positivity to smile about.
We cannot continue to be tossed around by negativity. We have to put it under our feet where it belongs. So, the next time something negative happens, think about something positive and the negativity will melt away.
