I Ran From God, Have You?

I Ran from God Part 1

  You may wonder how I ran away from God like Jonah did.  How is it that I wrestled and struggled against God's will in my life like Jacob did?  

    It was about 3 years after my husband passed away.  I decided I needed a husband.  So I joined a dating site to find one.  After a short time  God said to me in a 'still, small voice, "Get off of Match.com now."  I was cleaning my bedroom at the time,and His voice came as a thought in my mind.  If I had been smart I would have got off immediately, but I didn't.  A few weeks later the same thing happened as I was picking up my bedroom.  "Get off of Match.com now, all the men want is casual sex."  Jesus revealed the hearts of the men to me.  A few weeks later God told me again, "Get off of Match.com. You will only get hurt.  And this is the last time I'm going to tell you."  Would to God that I had been obedient.  It would have saved me a lot of heartache and grief.  But I ran away from God's command and His will for my life.

      A couple of months went by and I met a man I fell in love with him.  He appeared to be a pious, God fearing man who loved the Lord Jesus.  How could I have known he was a wolf in sheep's clothing?   God knew.  That's why the Lord kept telling me to get off Match.com; to save me from being preyed upon.  Had I obeyed God I never would have met him.
