Drinking, being sober and the Bible – Part 3
I suppose this article could be about more than just alcohol as there seems to be a long list of mood altering and pain relieving remedies available in the world today. Nevertheless, in this post I will speak from experience and let you project the idea’s into your life circumstances. And before I get into it too far, I would suggest, if you are reading or listening to this and your dependencies have gone on beyond your control and you need help. There are multiple organizations in our world, Thank God, that will help you with substance dependencies concerns. A doctor, a trusted friend and/or prayer is a great start. Never the less, this week I will talk about the topic of drinking, using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
However, if you think you are being called by the Lord to live a life of sobriety or at least a controlled dependency on substances like alcohol, He can and will help you with that. It may be through a community group such as AA or it could be a doctor or some other form of fellowship. We all need support on our daily walk with God in this life. He never intended us to live this life alone. So if you think you need to make a change in your daily habits, put your trust in Him first. God through the healing power of Jesus Christ will deliver you from any chains of bondage you need or desire to get free from in this life. It will take a life time to follow Christ, but He is worth it!
