Jonah

Man, two posts in one night, sorry for that. This thought just came to me but it's a little large to simply add to my last post even though it's the same idea.

Anyway, in response to running from fear, I'm reminded of Jonah who ran from his task from God. He feared the reaction of the people and who knows what else. But in the end God reaches those He loves and leads them to complete the tasks He calls them to.

As Niccolo Machiavelli said, "The wise man does at once what the fool does finally."
Or as one of my favorite authors, J.R.R Tolkien says, "Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."

Don't leave God behind in your life.
