“Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress” –Proverbs 31:6
Who are the people that are perishing? Sinners. Lemuel’s Mother was telling him that strong drink wasn’t meant for Him. Christians aren’t perishing. John 3:16 says, “Whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” So why is drinking only meant for the perishing? Drinking is meant for those in the world because that’s the only hope they have of peace (temporarily). Our call, as Christians, is to replace the alcohol with Jesus. We need to share the hope that we have with the people in bitter distress and anguish.
I will write a letter tonight to my unsaved Aunt and Uncle, sharing with them the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
