This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday of Lent. This Sunday, our story leads us to look at God's provision and for us in the desert, and the times when we feel like we need more.

Like the children of Israel who were provided manna in the desert, our God knows our needs and cares for us. And yet, we think that we know better.

In Luke 15, the Prodigal Son turns away from the provision of his father's home and squanders his inheritance on reckless living. The first part of this story leads us to the acknowledgement that WE ALL DO THAT. We all run away from God's best for our lives.

And yet...God's heart towards us is always love. He is the God who welcomes us, and desires reconciliation.
