But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Jonah 1:3a

Nothing's more terrifying than seeing a car racing toward you going
the wrong way on the freeway. At that moment, everyone's life is in danger.
According to the most recent figures, over 1700 people die annually in America
from crashes caused by drivers traveling the wrong way on a highway.
Statistically, two-thirds of those wrong-way drivers were drunk. Others took
the wrong ramp onto the highway. Maybe some were fleeing the police.
It's always dangerous to go the wrong way. It didn't work out very
well for Jonah, and it won't work out for us. Is your life headed in the wrong
direction? Has Satan gotten the better of your judgment? Do you need to make
some changes?
Don't be like the man who said he was making a 360-degree change. Turn
exactly 180 degrees. Repent of any and all entrapping sin. Rededicate yourself
to Jesus Christ in body, mind, and soul. As Ezekiel 33:11b says: "Turn,
turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?"
Let the Lord help you get out of the wrong lane today.
Repentance is one of the most positive words in any language. It tells
us we can change direction. It assures us God will help us improve.
