REACH THE PRODIGALS!

Luke 15:13 – Devotional

Luke 15:13

“Not many days after, the younger son gathered his belongings and traveled to a far country where he wasted everything in 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 that the definition of the word prodigal defines one who spends money in a reckless and extravagant manner. Wow! That would describe many in our modern world who have never even traveled away from home!

It is interesting to note that after the young son had frittered away all of his money a famine struck the land. I am sure he did not see that coming. As he tried to seek help from his new friends, he found that 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 his wages were 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? We need to offer spiritual help to these needy souls.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
