Your own sins will come back and bite you. You've shamed yourselves by rejecting me, your GOD, thinking you can act with impunity.
LUKE 15:14-15 (NLT)
About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Sometimes our sense of entitlment is the source of our own downfall.
DAILY FODDER
How did the prodigal son in Luke 15 act with entitlment?
PRAYER
Generous God, you have provided all that we need. But I'm hell bent on autonomous living with as little input from you as I can get away with. I can see, though, that autonomy is fundamentally flawed and doesn't work. Receive me back and help me to stick close to you. I celebrate your grace, in Jesus' name. Amen!
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
