The Kitchen Table Devotions
“The Prodigal”
Day 9
Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. Luke 15:13
There is no end to the appetite of lust and greed. Both are like empty stomachs that demand more and more. And who knows for sure why these appetites exist but they do. There is always a reason or rationale for this hunger but like sugar, they create a craving for more. An independent spirit is vulnerable with its reasons, resources, and free range to do as it chooses. The world becomes so small when we become so big. The world calls independence maturity but maturity is found in interdependence and so are good decisions. Before you step out the door, know where you’re going and why. Bad choices can leave deep cuts. You have a Father who loves you and wants you well.
