Jonah 1:5, 10
"5 Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep." 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “Why have you done this?” For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them."

Do we hide, asleep in the light given us? Whenever we run from God's calling, we think falsely that it only affects us - not seeing how not bearing witness to the gospel allows the storm of sin to bear down on others, to their destruction. So we cannot run from God, His presence, nor His will. Since His will is to make disciples of all nations and to teach them all He taught us in His word, then this is our life goal in the race set before us.
