Luke 15: 16
He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
The life of a pig is nothing but slopping around in the mud, and snorting for joy when the farmer comes to feed them.
Pigs eat anything, even dried up old corn stalks.
I was wondering how the prodigal son, how he thought that might be appetizing.
Let’s recount what he had, before he met the pigs;
· He had a warm bed…
· A rich inheritance…
· A loving Father…
· A secure future…
· And he probably had plenty to eat…
But this kid wanted fun and folly, and he wanted to run his own life, too.
What was the result of walking away from all this good stuff? A pigs buffet.
Whenever a child or an adult for that matter, ignores guidance from godly parents or a Pastor, similar results are most definitely possible.
Talk about swine flu!
The moral of this story…
If we ignore clear Biblical guidance, we can expect similar trouble, or even worse.
Maybe we should examine our own lives today. To end up in a pig pen, is certainly within the realm of possibilities…
