VERSE:
Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by
them is not wise.
-- Proverbs 20:1
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Proverbs+20:1
THOUGHT:
Rather than spending millions on ad campaigns filled with bright
lights, leggy blondes, fast cars, and handsome young studs like the
alcohol industry does, God plainly states the truth: We are unwise
to be in bondage to anything that makes us look foolish, that
destructively incites our passions, and that opens us up to
temptation. If your experience with alcohol has led to any of
these, please seek the help of a strong Christian friend who can
help you find freedom. If you are not in bondage to these, please
keep those who have been hurt by alcohol and drug abuse in your
prayers and fellowship.
PRAYER:
Father, my heart hurts today for every person, and every family,
under the grip of Satan because of alcohol and drug abuse. Please
bless those who are terrorized by a loved one in addiction's grip.
Please give them the strength to seek help and not remain alone and
silent. Please awaken their loved one to the truth of his/her
destructive lifestyle. Please prepare the people who can help them
begin the road to recovery, health, and freedom that you so long to
give them. Please use us, your Church, as a place of healing and
hope for those whose lives are caught in this tragic trap. In
Jesus' name I pray for your mighty help and power. Amen.
