Do you ever experience times when you know you’re not thinking right?
In the story of the prodigal son, the younger son asks for his inheritance and splits. Then he blows the whole thing and ends up with a terrible job, starving. The whole story turns on this verse.
“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have more than enough food, and here I am dying of hunger!” Luke 15:17 CSB
Is there an area of your life where you sense God wants you to come to your senses? What’s involved in coming to your senses anyway?
God wants us to live according to the best we know. This person had experienced a different reality. And he realized it was within his power to re-enter the old reality, even at a lower position, and he would still be better off.
Does this apply to you in a particular area of your life? Notice how he immediately turned toward the father in this story. We’ll talk about his father’s response tomorrow.
Today, living according to our senses is fully within our control. Let’s live up to the best we know. Let’s live like we trust Jesus to do what’s best. Maybe we need to get around others who are thinking and living up their best. One of our friends, Carey Green, has another podcast called the Morning Mindset. Check it out at www.CareyGreen.com.
Another way to get around others who are chasing Jesus would be to join our online community. Head over to https://Community.FollowerofOne.org and join our community and take part in the next Marketplace Mission Trip, too!
