Obedience or rebellion?

Nineveh or Tarshish? We only have two chocies when God tells us to do something: Obedience or rebellion. Jonah was told to go to Nineveh but initially he rebelled and sailed the other way to Tarshish. He quickly learned that was a big mistake. Rebellion vs. God never works out very good for the rebel. Eventually Jonah learned that you can't win fighting against God's wishes, so he relented and went to Nineveh where God used him in a mighty way. Our human nature is to say no to God, but we are much better off when we say yes.
