The Foolishness of the Prodigal

“Be not wise in thine own eyes…” (Proverbs 3:7a).

The prodigal was so sure of himself.  He felt he had it made and nothing was going to go wrong.  How foolish he was to think he wouldn’t fall and his pride would take a beating.  Not to add on more discouragement, but often times a prodigal has to hit rock bottom before they realize how wrong they have been.  They don’t always see the foolishness of their ways right away.  Praying for them is vital for you and them.  The prodigal hadn’t been aware of the fact his father hadn’t given up on him.  The key is you can’t give up either.  You don’t have to condone what they are doing, but you can’t stop loving or praying for them.
