A Mother’s Prayer Before you close your eyes to sleep I have a promise still to keep As I hold you in my arms. I pray your little frame grows strong And that faith takes hold While you are young; This is my prayer for you

Hold my hand; I'll teach you the Way to go Hold my hand; I'll teach you the Way to go. Through the joys, through the tears, The journey of these years, May you trust Him ‘til the end. May you trust Him in the end.

This world is not as it should be, But the Savior opens eyes to see All that's beautiful and true. Oh may His light fill all you are And the jewel of wisdom Crown your heart; This is my prayer for you

Hold my hand; I'll teach you the Way to go Hold my hand; I'll teach you the Way to go. Through the joys, through the tears, The journey of these years, He is with us ‘til the end. He is faithful ‘til the end.

You'll travel Where my arms won't reach As the road will rise To lead your feet On a journey of your own. May my mistakes not hinder you But His grace remain And guide you through; This is my prayer for you

Take His hand And go where He calls you to Take His hand And go where He calls you to. And whatever comes, seek Him With all your heart; This will be my prayer for you.

Father, Hear my ceaseless prayer; Oh keep them in your care Father, Hear my ceaseless prayer; Oh keep them in your care. Oh keep them in your care.

The Danger of Disobedience Jonah 1:4-17

A quick review . . .   We may resist God’s calling . . . for a time. You are never farther from God than when you’re close to Him and say “no.”

God lets us go . . . for a time.   God begins to pursue us . . . again. God disrupts our circumstances to redirect our attention.

What does the storm teach us?   1. Many storms are the result of our disobedience. “And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says…

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and He chastens everyone he accepts as his son.’ Continued…

“Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children “Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it.” Continued…

“How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live “How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.” Continued…

“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” - Hebrews 12:5-11   Continued…

“‘My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline, but don’t be crushed by it either. It’s the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects.’ Continued…

God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children. This trouble you’re in isn’t punishment; it’s training, the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves. Continued…

Would you prefer an irresponsible God Would you prefer an irresponsible God? We respect our own parents for training and not spoiling us, so why not embrace God’s training so we can truly live? Continued…

While we were children, our parents did what seemed best to them While we were children, our parents did what seemed best to them. But God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God’s holy best. At the time, discipline isn’t much fun. It always feels like it’s going against the grain.   Continued…

Later, of course, it pays off handsomely, for it is the well-trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God.” - Hebrews 12:5-11  

2. Storms are meant get our attention.   3. Storms are meant to break the hold that a particular sin has over us.

  “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your Word.” - Psalm 119:67 “It was good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.” - Psalm 119:71

4. Storms are meant to get us back.   “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” - Romans 8:1 “God did not send the storm to pay Jonah back, it was meant to get him back.” - Dr. Justin Buchanan

My sin/disobedience is never private. 5. Storms breaks us from our self-reliance.   6. Storms are a catalyst for growth. My sin/disobedience is never private.
