(Jonah 1:1-3) “Most of us have our own Nineveh and Tarshish. One is the city of faithfulness and obedience; the other is a place of escape and equivocation. Our Nineveh’s are those clear revelations of the will of God. Nineveh can be simply the Lord’s urging that we change our behavior or do some obedient action that demands more than we are ready to give. Whatever else, Nineveh is the call of God sounding in our hearts to put Him first, be His person, and accept our vocation to be servants in mission.” – L. J. Ogilvie
