Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler;
whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
I may seem unqualified to talk about Proverbs 20:1. I’ve never had a drink of any sort. I’ve been fighting to write this post but I feel like God wants to impart some wisdom in this area.
I may be naive when it comes to drinking but I have a husband who’s job it is to be an expert on those that are under the influence.
I’ve watched the video tapes of people acting in ways they would horrified to know they acted. I know because they’ve come back and said they were horrified.
I’ve seen pictures of accidents that would make some vomit. Some I still wish I could erase from my memory.
I can tell you that some are led astray by drinking. Most of us have family members that haven’t been in an accident or arrested but you know they are led astray by drinking. People don’t get that way overnight. It’s a slow fade.
The wise realize the power alcohol holds.
Challenge: Take stock of what part alcohol plays in your life. Are you on a path to being led astray? Be wise about your habits and please, please, please do not drink and drive!
