Read the passage: Jonah 3:3-8
I think we all go through life assuming that what we see, how we think, the things we do and our reactions to issues – it’s all true and straight and level. What if it’s actually slanted and untrue.
A good hint that you’re living slanted is when you look at your life and it seems straight. But when you look at God and who he is, his truths and his reality and his words, your entire life seems a little bit crooked and off. My gentle suggestion is: maybe he’s true and level and straight, and we are the ones who aren’t. We’re slanted. Maybe we’ve lived in a slanted world so long that God’s trueness feels crooked to us.
Why am I bringing up all this stuff about slanted-ness and being disoriented?
Because I think that what our series in Jonah is trying to do to us. It’s this short book that messes up all our expectations and assumptions about God, it’s trying to suggest, maybe we got some leveling out to do in our lives.
