"He's Waiting"
[11] Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. [12] The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. [13] “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
Luke 15:11-13 NIV
Notice that The Prodigal Son's father didn't argue with him, or do anything to prevent The Prodigal Son from getting his share of his estate early. He just gave him what he asked for.
Sometimes God does us the same way!!
Sometimes God will give us what we ask Him for, KNOWING we're going to squander it, we're going to mess up, we're going to need His help in the end.
Just as expected, The bible says, The Prodigal Son squandered all his money from the estate, just when a famine made it's way through the land, leaving him in need. Coincidence...I think not!!
Luke 15:14 NIV
And you wonder, why some things happen? God will allow whatever is necessary to get us back on track with Him.
Many of us being stubborn- willed like The Prodigal Son (and wanting what we want) had to hit or almost hit rock bottom before we would come to our senses and return to The Father.
So, The Prodigal Son hit rock bottom. He had no money, he was hungry and face down in the mud of a pig pen, and the bible says, "No one gave him anything."
Luke 15:16 NIV
Beloved,
When you've been out there partying with people, squandering all your money on people and yet, when you lose it all and are in need....
They are no where to be found. IT'S TIME TO COME ON BACK TO GOD. He is The One who cares, who always cares.
The Prodigal Son's so -called friends weren't there to help him, no one gave him anything, but somewhere in midst of him feeling hungry, discouraged, and alone...He come to his senses, got up, and went and made things right with his father.
You should do the same. It's time to make things right with your Heavenly Father. He's waiting patiently for you to return.
Luke 15:17-22 NIV
Until Next Sunday!!
