The Kitchen Table Devotions
“The Prodigal”
Day 10
And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. 13 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 15:12-13
When you step out the door this morning, know where you’re going and why. If we don’t know why we’re leaving, we probably don’t know who we’re serving. The younger son was leaving the one who loved him most. Emotions run high when expectations run low. One way to know we’re leaving out of sorts is that we want to live out of sight. Walking out the door with guilt and greed is a bad way to start a journey in life. Find your why before you get the where and what you don’t want to see. Love doesn’t always light up the room, but it won’t leave you in the dark. Never forget your Father loves you and leaves you with a why, a where and a what you won’t regret.
