As we continue to explore the aspect of mental health, I just want to share the words of King Lemuel’s mother and warn those who are battling with mental health issues to avoid any intoxicated items for it will not ease the pain but add more sorrow. For your quick healing journey, please stay sober like a judge! 😊
“The Words of King Lemuel’s Mother
1 The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:
2 What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows?
3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes intoxicating drink;
5 Lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the justice of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitter of heart.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:1-9 NKJV
The next scripture is very close to my heart as the Holy Spirit convicted me of verses 31 and 32 at a very young age, yet, even today I do not touch liquor and I have no regrets. Therefore, be sober and focus on your healing journey for your mental health matters!
“29 Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?
30 Those who linger long at the wine, those who go in search of mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly.
32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart will utter perverse things.
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
35 “They have struck me, but I was not hurt; they have beaten me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink?” Proverbs 23:29-35 NKJV
#it is not worth it!
#be sober!
#”And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,” Ephesians 5:18 NKJV
Embrace your healing journey!
Oh! Lord God the Almighty remember me!
