Jonah

You cannot read a single chapter in the Bible without seeing God's sovereign hand. Jonah thought he would go his way and do his thing, but guess what? Jonah ended up doing EXACTLY as God pleased.

Even to the point that God had "prepared" a great fish to accomplish this purpose.

Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah...

Jonah 1:17 NKJV

I have heard people say "If you don't do perform the task God gives you, He will find someone else to do it instead." Well, that is a load of crap. Read Jonah. If God gives you a work to do, it was given unto you from the foundation of the world and it WILL come to pass.

Remember... "It is hard to kick against the goads."
