“A PRODIGAL LIFE!”
Luke 15:13
“And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.”

We are not told where the far country was to which the young son journeyed. I have known prodigals whose far country was the nearest bar. I have also encountered prodigals who have traveled thousands of miles away from those who love them.

It is interesting to read the definition of the word prodigal. It defines one who spends money in a reckless and extravagant manner. Wow! That would describe many who have never even traveled away from home!

It is also interesting to note that after the young son had frittered away all of his money, a famine struck the land. Ooops! I am sure he did not see that coming. I can picture him trying to seek help from his new friends, but they were just as destitute as he was. Famine is no respecter of persons.

As a last resort this Jewish boy was forced to find employment feeding pigs. How low can he fall?! In fact, it seems the wage he earned was just being able to eat the same food he was feeding the swine around him. That describes many prodigals in our modern world doesn’t it? How will he deal with it? Read tomorrow's E-Votional.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
