Jonah 1:15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
We have to always be aware that when God asks something of us, we need to answer and do it! Not just think about it, not just talk about it, not have another meeting to discuss it, but to do it!
Jonah knew he had done wrong and knew that God was on his case because of that. His only response he could think of was to allow God to take him.
We do not have to let things get that far that the only course of action is total defeat. God wants us active and working with Him not totally passive and useless.
