Today I have a question for you. Have you ever felt like you were the wrong person for the job?

Like what did you get yourself into? You didn't have the right experience or the right skill set?

Well, I know I have, and you probably have too. This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick

Warren. Okay, today we're going to continue with the series, The Manifestation of Your Life

Mission. Rick is showing us that no matter how big the thing is that God is calling us to do,

we don't have to run away from it. We can actually run toward it. This is such a

good message and I hope you'll invite a friend to listen along with you as we discover how to

embrace God's calling on our lives and how we can live according to the purpose and plan

that he has for us. Okay, here's Rick with part two of a message called What to Do When You Cause a

Storm. So the consequences of Jonah running from God are great. In fact, there are four.

These four consequences are the same four consequences that happen in your life when you run from God,

when you ignore your life mission, when you try to pretend your God, when you try to play God,

I'm not going to do what God wants me. I'm going to do what I want to do. I think I know it will

make me happy more than God does. When you do that, it always causes these same four consequences that we see in Jonah's life.

Negative consequences.

Number one, write these down.

If I run from God, number one, my life will go downhill.

My life will go down there.

Running from God is always on a slide.

It's always degrading.

It's always downhill.

You are headed down over, over, and over.
