Paul was in prison. Alone. It wasn't his first time but was bound to be his last time. He had fought his fight and run his race. In his final correspondence with his beloved protege, Timothy, he requests his presence. In the meantime, the Lord stood by him and strengthened him. Even in our loneliest moments, the Lord stands by us. He gives us insight. He empowers us.

Jonah resisted God's call. He wasn't the only prophet or person of faith to do it. We all do. We say No when God says Go. We chose comfort over calling and hide behind religion. We try to keep distance from God, but it is futile. He owns the heavens, land, and see. He'll find us. We must learn to accept Him and His will rather than run.

Some people have a harder lot in life than others. Job is among the most famous biblical sufferers. But there is another, less often discussed sufferer. Her name is Naomi, and we read her story of dramatic status change, mounting losses, and waiting on God. Fortunately for Naomi, God showed up in the kindness of her daughter-in-law who shared her burden. God's kindness still shows up today through human kindness.

The modern day church could learn a few lessons from their fearless proclamation of Jesus is Lord.
