the word of the Lord came a second time...

Jonah blew it the first time the word of the Lord came to him.  He ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction.  But "The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time...."  


The word of the Lord to Jonah hadn't changed.  But Jonah had.

Two actions came to mind for me this morning when I read this passage.  Two different ways I have heard "the word of the Lord" clearly indicating specific actions to me, and I've been trying to avoid both of them.

My goal is to take action regarding them today.  I'd rather not.  But I don't want to risk a.) hearing from the Lord a third time or b.) not hearing from the Lord at all.

What did you think about the passage for today?
