“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Chances are the prodigal may have learned today’s verses in Sunday school years ago. How his father wished he would call these into remembrance. Instead his son chose to forget any teachings from his father or anyone else. He was living in the fast lane and not looking back to see the tears in his father’s eyes.
You may have been there or are may be there now. You may wonder how knowing what you would share if only you could talk some sense into your prodigal can be of any help. I firmly believe if a child has been taught the Word and then chooses to stray from it, he or she will not entirely forget this teaching. It may not happen right away, but, that child will recall what he or she has learned (Proverb 22:6). Keep praying, and in time, you may just get the opportunity to share your heart.
