What did we do before GPS? Remember those paper maps, that were impossible to refold once you opened it up. You had to watch for the signs. This many miles to this town, or this many miles to this highway. What mile marker was that? And if you missed your exit, then you had to navigate on the fly. No computer voice to tell you “recalibrating.” And then when you figured out you’re truly lost, then it was time to pull over at a gas station and ask for help. Signs, they give us directions, they tell us important information. If we choose to ignore them, we do so at our own peril. If the sign ahead says bridge out, and you keep on going, you’re gonna be in trouble. Just as we have road signs or GPS, Scripture has been given us and there are signs, heavenly signs, that point to Christ. Signs we must pay attention to. Maybe we too like Jonah have found ourselves off course, running away, going in the opposite direction, and yet God still gives us signs to woo us back, to correct our trajectory and get us back on course.
