Step 1: RUN (the wrong choice)
What did Jonah do?
He RAN. He went to the docks. He found a ship sailing to Tarshish - the OPPOSITE direction from Nineveh. He paid for a ticket. He climbed on board.
Did you know? Tarshish was thousands of miles AWAY from Nineveh. It was the farthest place Jonah could think of. He was trying to put as much sea between himself and God as he could.
Lesson: When God says GO, we sometimes run. But you cannot really run from God - He sees you everywhere.
📖 "But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port." (Jonah 1:3)
