The Prodigal Within

The Prodigal Within

4 Days

The parable of the prodigal son tells of a young man who demanded his inheritance, left home, and squandered his wealth in reckless living, only to return humbled and repentant. The word “prodigal” means wasteful or recklessly extravagant. While the story demonstrates the consequences of wayward choices, it also reveals God’s abundant mercy toward those who return. This four-day devotional invites believers to reflect on ways we, too, can be prodigal – wasting time, misplacing our affections, squandering resources, or neglecting intimacy – and to realign our hearts, lives, and priorities with God’s purposes.

We would like to thank Dr. Mike Paalz for providing this plan. For more information, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/mikepaalz
