Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who tarry long over wine, those who go to try mixed wine. Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder. Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind utter perverse things. You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast? “They struck me,” you will say, “but I was not hurt; they beat me but I did not feel it. When shall I wake? I will seek another drink.” Proverbs 23:29 – 35
Lord what a warning Solomon has given to his son. That same warning is still valid for us today.
Thank You for coming to give us a better way when we follow Your leading. We are blessed.
Thank You Lord.
Amen
