When the prodigal son - after leaving his father’s house, going to a far country, and spending his father’s fortune on wine, women, and song - finally came to his senses, he realized he was sitting in a pigpen eating pig slop.
The difference between a prodigal and a pig is that although the prodigal might spend some time in the pigpen, he doesn’t make it his home. If the pigpen is your home today, you need to seriously evaluate your relationship to your Father. But if you find yourself in the pigpen today, wanting desperately to get out - take hope. Take the first step back home toward your Father, and like the prodigal son, you will see Him running to meet you.
The only time in the Bible when God is seen to be in a hurry is in the person of the prodigal son’s father, who hitched up his robes and ran down the road with abandon to meet his son. What a beautiful picture of restoration and redemption, renewal and revival. That’s our Father.
