Luke 15:13b- “…the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living…(and) 17a- When he came to his senses, he said… 18b-Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.”
We recently “rescued” a two-year-old dog that is incredibly sweet, loving, and (all-important) housebroken. However, he is very stubborn and this unfortunate trait is getting him in a bit of trouble.
He pulls on the leash instead of trotting obediently at my side. He refuses to come when we call his name. In short, he wants his own way.
When will he realize a bag of treats are ready and waiting for obedient doggies?
Which brings me to the story of the prodigal son who stubbornly wanted his share of his father’s inheritance. When he got it, he squandered it.
But, the story has a happy ending because he finally comes to his senses and returns home to apologize and beg forgiveness.
Have you reached a place in your life where you found what you were looking for couldn’t be found in “the world”? You realize that temporary pleasures are not deep and satisfying?
If so, please put your faith in God.
Come back home and experience His best for you.
