From My friend Keith Hatton
"Even Tractors Get Stuck!"
A year ago my neighbor, Wesley Shearburn, got his tractor badly stuck in his hog pen. Immediately I thought how some Christians, like tractors, are made to help pull others out of sin. But if they go into the 'hog pen' to do so, they can get stuck themselves! That's why Proverbs 3:7 says, 'Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.' Today, in all your efforts to help someone, stay out of the hog pen of sin! - Br Keith Hatton
The Father of The Prodigal didn't chase his son into the hog pen he had to let his son "come to himself," to awaken to his own need to change. The Father instead looked steadfastly to the horizon for any tell tale sign of his sons return home. When he see him coming he runs to him and throws his arms around him and a party for his safe return. I am watching today
