First we will have a look at some history of color.
1611 - Finland - The oldest known color system is credited to astronomer, priest and Neoplatonist Aron Sigfrid Forsius (1569-1637). In his color circle , between the colors Black and White, Red has been placed on the one side since the classical antiquity, and Blue on the other; Yellow then comes between White and Red, pale Yellow between White and Yellow, Orange between Yellow and Red.

Running From God
READ:
Jonah 1:1-10Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. Jonah 1:3
Why do people run away from God? Is it because of anger, disappointment, despair, disobedience, or a web of rebellion woven from our own desires?
The book of Jonah looks at a prophet who rejected Gods call to deliver His word to the people of Nineveh. In the first chapter (vv.3,10), we read that Jonah deliberately headed for Tarshish to run away from the Lord. He knew exactly where he was going and why. After being given a second chance (3:1-2), Jonah delivered Gods message but reacted angrily when the Lord spared the repentant city (3:104:2).
The book ends with the Lord speaking to Jonah about His compassion: Should I not pity Nineveh? (4:11). But theres no indication that the disgruntled prophet changed his attitude. The people of Nineveh repented; Jonah did not.
The story of Jonah should cause each of us to be honest about our feelings toward the Lord. Do we harbor resentment for His leniency toward people we feel deserve judgment? Have we forgotten that God has forgiven us? Are we ready to obey His call and leave the outcome to Him?
The story of Jonah illuminates our reactions to God and measures our willingness to trust Him when we cant understand His ways.
Sometimes its hard to trust the Lord
When you dont understand;
But fight the urge to run from Him
Reach out and take His hand. Sper
He pleases God best who trusts Him most.
