The Prodigal, Proverbs 12


"Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food."

Proverbs 12:9

"The Prodigal Son" by Liz Lemon

The righteous and the wicked are so at odds. We often take our inheritance now, a substitute for the long-term benefit. Our country faces insurmountable debt and people are hurting - they need God to intervene, but they don't know him. The average American is $10,000 in hoc. We loved credit, we squandered the money, and we are left holding a big bill that compounds the interest like a ticking bomb. How do we get out of our mess, we wonder?

Well, we realize that we have to make things right with our father, that is what. Like the prodigal son, we realize that we just want to know what is right. We are willing to take the lowliest position. We wonder how we could have been so stupid and how we could have veered so far off course. Fortunately, our father does love us and he welcomes us with open arms.


"When God Ran" by Phillips, Craig, and Dean

Proverbs 12:15 - "The way of the fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice."

Are you, your worst advisor? We need more advice from the right sources. Who can best help you today to get you where you need to be? Ask.

People really want to help most of the time. I have found, the more you help people, the more they are willing to help you. Who can you help today? I am about asking these days. I need help and am open to receiving counsel and instruction from many who I respect in business, in their service to the Lord, and their desire to help others. Sometimes, we need to stop and listen. What is God saying?

On Mission, On Assignment, and in the ZONE!
