“PURPOSE IN THE STORM: When Running Can’t Save You”
Based on the Book of Jonah
“What happens when you run from your purpose… and God finds you anyway?”
Obedience. Grace. Second Chances.
Even when we run, God’s plan still finds a way.
THE CALL YOU CAN’T ESCAPE
🌊✝️⛵
What happens when you run from your purpose… and God finds you anyway?
Jonah wasn’t running from fear. He was running from assignment.
God told him: “Go to Nineveh. Speak truth. Wake the city.”
But instead of obeying, he fled—boarding a ship heading the opposite way (Jonah 1:3).
Why? Because purpose is heavy… but running makes it heavier.
You can hide from people.
You can hide from responsibility.
But you can’t outrun the call of heaven.
GRACE IN THE DEEP
🕊️🐋🌌
Then came the storm.
Not just over water—but within Jonah.
Waves crashed. Chaos erupted.
He was tossed overboard—swallowed not just by a great fish, but by his own regret (Jonah 1:17).
Three days. Three nights. In the belly of the unknown.
And in the silence, he finally surrendered.
Not in a temple. Not in comfort.
But in the deep. In the dark. In the despair.
(Jonah 2:1–10)
God heard. God rescued. God restored.
Jonah was spit out by the very thing that held him back.
And this time? He obeyed.
Because grace gives you the mic again—even after failure.
His obedience didn’t just save himself—it saved an entire city (Jonah 3:1–10).
Rebellion turned into revival.
Fear turned into faith.
Running turned into redemption.
THE GOD WHO NEVER GIVES UP
⚓🔥✨
Jonah’s journey is our reminder:
You’re not too far.
You’re not too late.
You’re not too broken.
God’s purpose is patient. His mercy is louder than your detour.
And even in your lowest moment—purpose still breathes.
So if you’re in your own belly of the beast…
If you feel swallowed by fear, failure, or shame…
Don’t give up.
Don’t stay silent.
Don’t forget your calling.
Grace is still speaking.
Obedience still matters.
And your purpose?
It’s waiting on the other side of surrender.
