The Shame of Drunkenness

“Then he drank of the wine and was drunk,
And became uncovered in his tent.”
Genesis 9:21 

Noah became drunk, and with it, lay naked in his tent for people to see. His drunkenness brought shame to Noah and his family. My father was an alcoholic, and though he had a good job and made good money, he would spend every night and weekend getting drunk. His behavior would change when he had been drinking. He would verbally and physically abuse my mom.

Solomon makes it clear – people who drink do not think clearly and are often led into doing perverse things. Alcoholics often hallucinate and tend to take on a daredevil mentality, thinking they can do anything because their senses are dulled. It is clear, that Alcohol does nothing to promote self-control or godliness. Is God speaking to you regarding the issue of alcohol?

Thought for the Day:
Once people cave in to the temptation to drink,
Many of them are soon in bondage to Alcohol.
