Come to Your Senses

When he finally came to his senses, he said, “At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger!” Luke 15:17 (NLT)

Bible Reading: Luke 15:11-32

During an art program in a correctional facility, one of the participants, an inmate, asked of my age and when I answered, he remarked that I came to my senses early in life. I questioned him further to know exactly what he meant and he responded that I figured out what I was going to do with my life early and I pursued it. I told him that’s what Jesus Christ can do in the life of anyone who can surrender unto Him totally. After our long conversation, he concluded that although he wasted time, he has finally come to know the truth which has made him come to his senses.

In our Bible reading today, we see that immediately the prodigal son realized his situation, he craved for change and took the best decision of his life. He returned to his father. He couldn’t have returned to his father if he had not come to his senses. While returning to one’s sense could mean different things to different people, it could also mean surrendering one’s life to Jesus. Dear friends, it is never too late to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. A relationship with Jesus will only help you come to your senses on time and will give you the strength to remain wise in Him. Like the prodigal son, when we come back to our senses, we can access all that God has for us.

Action Point: List the areas in your life that you need to change.

Daily Confession: Lord, open the eyes of my heart to see who you want me to be and who I have become so that I can conform to Your image.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for the salvation of as many you know who are yet to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

Hymn: Redemption! Oh, wonderful story

Glad message for you and me:

That Jesus has purchased our pardon,

And paid all the debt on the tree.
