TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.” (Jonah 1:9-10 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: The question the prophet was asked—“Why hast thou done this?”—is indicative of the astonishment of those who asked it. They understood how a faithless pagan would run from the Lord, but they were flabbergasted that a God-fearing prophet would ever do so.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: It is truly inconceivable and unconscionable that a prophet should become a prodigal, forsaking his Father’s house for the far country.
