I Will Fall Facedown
as your glory shines
around, King of Glory!

He would gladly
have filled his
stomach with the
pods that the swine
ate. --Luke 15:16

AH, the life of a pig! Each new day brings nothing but slopping through the mud and snorting happily at mealtime. And what meals they have! Crunchy corn husks--or whatever leftovers get tossed into the pen.

Sound good? No! It probably didn't sound good to the prodigal son either. Before he started eating with pigs, he had a warm bed, a rich inheritance, a loving father, a secure future--and very good food. But he wanted to run his own life and do whatever he disired. It resulted in a pig's dinner.

Whenever a young person ignores the guidance of godly parents and the instruction of God's Word, similar results occur. It always shocks me when someone who professes to know Jesus chooses a life that rejects God's clear teaching. Whether the choices include sexual sin, addictive substances, a lack of ambition, or something else, any action that leaves God out risks ending badly.

If we ignore clear biblical morals and neglect our relationship with God, we can expect trouble. Luke tells us that the young man turned things around after he came to his senses (Luke 15:17). Keep your senses about you.

Live for God by the guidance of His Word-unless you want to end up eating with the swine.

Jesus is calling your name now. Won't you "Fall Face Down" and worship Him? He loves you so very much. He died that you might live through, and with Him eternally.

If sin were not deceitful, it wouldn't seem delightful.
