On your own, it may not be possible, but you’re not on your own. There’s something God put on you before you were born: a purpose, a calling, an assignment that’s not just up to you. It’s His sovereign will. It’s something He’s decided that will happen. There’s nothing we can do to change His sovereign will. He will bring it to pass. Now there’s a conditional will where our choices impact our future. We make bad decisions, there are consequences, heartache, delays. We make it more difficult. But God’s sovereign will, His purpose for your life, cannot be changed. Just ask Jonah. God told him to go to the city of Nineveh and preach to the people. He didn’t want to go. He got on a boat going the opposite direction. But you can’t override what God has purposed. You can run, but you can’t hide. God knows how to get His way. You can do it the easy way, or you can go the hard way. Jonah chose the hard way. He ran. There was a great storm. So unusual, so uncommon, the crew asked, “Who’s on board that’s causing this trouble?” Jonah was man enough to admit the problem. He said, “I’m the one.” The crew was so grateful, so kind. They threw him overboard. That should have been the end, but God had a whale waiting for Jonah. It swallowed him, took him to the shore, and spit him out on dry ground. God said it again, “Go to Nineveh.” This time, he went.
