Go Inside to Find Your God

The Book of Jonah is a classic example of a soul trying to escape following through with divine guidance. God told him to go to Nineveh and preach the word of God, and he got on a ship and went in another direction, instead.\xa0

I learn from the story of Jonah and resolve instead to follow God\u2019s guidance.\xa0

In the words of Daniel Nahmod\u2019s beautiful song (\u201cInside (to Find My God\u201d): \u201cI will leave this world as it is, go inside to find my God. Inside there is peace, inside there is joy, inside there is more than enough. I will leave this life as it is, go inside to find my God. Inside, there is peace, inside there is joy, inside there is sacred love.\u201d\xa0

\n

I go first to God, and then take outer steps (head to my \u201cNineveh\u201d) if and as God directs, and I am delivered.
