Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

This verse has a natural progression. Does your prodigal seems to be walking, standing and sitting exactly opposite of where you want them to be? It’s one thing to stray down a path that is not pleasing to the Lord, but to end up sitting and spending time there is another thing.

I envision a prodigal who delights in God’s Word and meditates on it. I love the picture of a mighty tree planted by streams of spiritual water, soaking up its goodness and yielding fruit. Keep that picture in mind as you visualize your prodigal’s prosperous future….

Ephesians 2:4-7 (NLT)

But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!). For, He raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of His grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all He has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.

I thought it appropriate on this Easter Sunday to give a reminder of just what God has done for us and our prodigal! I can’t comprehend the vastness of God’s great love, how He continues to offer grace to all who will accept it.

Have you ever thought of God pointing to us as an example? Who is He pointing us out to – the enemy… angels? I look forward to the day the Father can point to my prodigal as an example of how the incredible wealth of His grace and kindness transforms a life!

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

As Ecclesiastes says, “there’s nothing new under the sun”. The prodigal will not encounter any temptation that has not been around for a long time. God’s promise – He provides a way out.

I’m praying the prodigal will begin to recognize their strongest temptations…then in God’s strength, choose to walk away at their first chance of escape. May they learn to quickly identify any trap the enemy has set for them.
