The book of Jonah gives a sharp look at the of God.

In this writing we see God’s:

1^st Omniscience = all

Did you know God cannot ?

He does not make !

He is all !

He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
Ephesians 1:8 NLT

2^nd Omnipresence =

3^rd Omnipotence =

Would you want God to be any other way?

There is nothing more than to discover these .

It is also a lesson to learn these truths and to come to realize that God has a of His own.

To live to bring God is to live in His and to realize His ways are .

The problem is that often times God’s and thus, God’s are not on our .

It might be wise to remember – God has a over every person.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,for God bought you with a high price.So you must honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT

Notice God’s call to Jonah! (vs. 1-2)

1^st

Mankind does not call a child of God – it is a from the Lord.

Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son.
Hebrews 1:1-2a NLT

That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts”
Hebrews 3:7-8a NLT

God’s voice often has a ring.

3^rd

Notice Jonah’s response! (v. 3)

1^st

God had Jonah, but – what did he do?

Instead of being , Jonah was into .

Remember – Jonah was a , but he thought his overruled God’s.

Notice the words: “ the ”.

And then the next words: “ ”.

It’s like our navigational system in the car – .

Mankind’s problem is not choice – it is .

God calls us to a .

Have we forgotten the Words of the Lord?

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take up the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will take hold of me.
Psalms 139:7-10 NASB

How can God’s people be so from His truth?

Others had tried to go from the of the Lord: & /

Can a person hide himself in hiding places so that I do not see him?” declares the Lord.
“Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:24 NASB

It is interesting the Bible says: “ a ”.

That means he was for it.

Truth: is always provided for those from the of God.

2^nd On

No one while living in rebellion against God. People never !

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap.
