–12) The younger son took all his possessions, took off, and “squandered his wealth on wild living.” He spent his entire inheritance on this wild living and had to get a job feeding pigs. It got so bad for him that he was looking at stealing the pig food to just survive. He’s stressing, anxious, not sure where his next meal is coming from, no money. He’s not month to month here he’s day to day. He’s not knowing how to and not knowing where to go. This is lost. The bible says: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;” (Isaiah 53:6) When you are turned away from God and are following your own way, that’s lost. This is not just a message of salvation. You can have this “lost” feeling contemplating a new job or career change. You can have this “lost” feeling looking at the bills you have to pay spread out on the table. This younger son, the “Prodigal Son” recognized “lost” and turned back to his Father. He had a whole speech prepared “The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But when he gives the speech his father ignores it and says: ”'Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’“(Luke 15:21–24) When you’re feeling anxious, not sure how or where you should be, lost, remember this one thing: No matter how far away we go our Father’s house is always open. When you know this you will never be lost again. ==================== Subscribe on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=threeminutemessage Like Us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/3MinuteMessage Follow Us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/3MinuteMessage and http://twitter.com/kaala G+ Us: http://gplus.to/3minutemessage Subscribe to the Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-3-minute-message/id682224076?mt=2
