#52: "Lord I'm Ready Now" by Plumb & the Book of Jonah

Released February 16, 2015 by More Than a Song - Michelle Nezat

 

God: "Arise, go..." Us: "Uh, no thank you." Cue scene where we run away...far, far away. How is that working for you? Well, it didn't work for Jonah, and this week's song, "Lord I'm Ready Now" by Plumb, could almost be a soundtrack for the 48 verse story found in the Old Testament.

When we settle in to really watch the story, we see a God of second chances...even for us.
On this week's episode I discuss:

Tiffany Arbuckle Lee's (aka Plumb) story behind this song
Reading the stories of the Bible like we watch movies...all the way through
Recap of the Book of Jonah
How it's impossible to run away from God - Psalm 139
Recognizing our own failure/shortcomings
Coming to a crisis of honest reflection
God as the one who lifts us from the pits of life
Drawing close to God for strength
Recommitting ourselves after a time of repentance and confession

This Week's Challenge

Read Jonah! Read it often. Read it in various versions. Read it all the way through in one sitting. Listen to an audio version of it. Daily ponder what truth God might want to reveal to you!
