“We should feel grateful that God included Jonah in the canon of Scripture. If ever God provided a picture of our human nature—our inclination to run from duty in favor of serving self—He did it through Jonah. He furnishes the perfect portrait of a reluctant leader in a needy time. Yet, he is not alone! God has called many reluctant leaders. Consider Moses, who in Egypt, thought he could do more than he really could. But God called him only after 40 years of preparation, when he thought he could do less than he really could…” John Maxwell commentary, in his NKJV Leadership Bible, pg. 1081.
