Me: Your friend looks like he’s ridin’ the gravy train on biscuit wheels.

Prodigal: He is doing well for himself.

Me: Here is some advice anyway.

This is from the book Elijah: A Man of Heroism and Humility by Charles Swindoll

“Lord, today I want to do what You say regarding contentment; I want to have a calm and gentle spirit. I don’t simply want to call myself a Christian. I want to be known as a genuine servant of God because my life demonstrates the truth I say I believe. Help me this day to face everything and deal with everyone with a gentle and quiet spirit. Help me be content, even though I don’t get things my way.”

1 Kings 18:21

And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Ball, follow him.” But the people did not answer him a word.
