Into a Far Country
The prodigal son went into a far country and spent his money on parties and prostitutes, but when a famine came on the land and his money ran out, the only work he could find was feeding pigs. As he watched the pigs eat, he wanted to pick up their filthy food and eat it himself, and it was that thought that brought him to his senses. Did you also try to get far away from God so that you could enjoy the pleasures of sin? Did you come to the realization that your desires were unclean? Did you then run to God and find that He was ready to meet you halfway? He gave you a robe of righteousness to cover your filth, an inheritance ring for your finger, and Gospel shoes for your feet. There are other lost prodigals out there. They are waiting for you to speak to them. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
