The Kitchen Table Devotions
“The Prodigal”
Day 12
And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. Luke 15:14
Sometimes the best thing love can do is nothing. It seems like we have difficulty seeing our situation until we’re in one. It wasn’t until the young man had spent everything that he found himself in a severe famine. In a time of real need is a tough time to realize that we’re needy. Honesty is the first of humility and humility is needed to walk honestly through life. Hard times reveal the hard truths and in those moments it’s not time to complain but it’s time to contemplate. Complaining rather than contemplating will lead to another bad conversation and another bad choice. Take a moment to contemplate not just complain, God is waiting to talk to you.
