Jonah willingly paid the price of his fare, so that he could sail to Tarshish. In a similar way, when we choose to run away from the Lord, we also pay a price.
"But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a
ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for
Tarshish to flee from the Lord." - Jonah 1:3
The price we pay for our disobedience to the Lord can range from, the consequence of our sin, becoming fearful, a lack of peace, dis-contentment, hardness of heart.
In my opinion, all of our choices include some kind of cost - it is just that disobedience has a high cost than following the calling of God.
Thought: Can you think of a time when you deliberately ran away from God's plan for your life? What price did you pay?
