Sometimes things are too precious....
….and you know they are. Maybe it’s a gift that you have and you only want it for you. Maybe it’s the way you’ve always done something. Maybe it’s following the guidance of your peers when you know there’s a better way. I’ve had my share of Jonahs. The Godly things that aren’t in the right place. The promise that you’re hoping for, the baby that is never conceived, the promotion or business that never arrives. Sometimes you just have to throw it overboard. See if it can swim or if it’ll sink. Or maybe the mysterious third option. Don’t let the dream weigh down your boat but realise that sometimes, throwing in the towel means that others pick up the fight.
“Then the sailors picked Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once! The sailors [who didn’t believe in God – my little add in] were awestruck by the Lord’s great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him.” – Jonah 1
