People have different views when it comes to alcohol. For some,
it’s almost like a ‘pain-killer’ for others it’s just something they consume
when in a social setting. Now, my focus today is on the people who use alcohol as
a pain-killer. The basic numbing impact of alcohol is what people use as means
of killing pain. But, when you are sober again after a night of ‘no-pain’ guess
what comes? The pain that you avoided yesterday plus a hangover!!! Drinking to the point that we forget our
current state is not killing pain but drowning in a sea of alcohol! However,
there is another way out!!
I don’t know how many of you know this but I am a crier. I
cry to let out stress or cry to my father in heaven when things don’t seem to
be working out! In my walk with God these past couple of years God has been
teaching me the worth of tears. “You keep track of all my sorrows. You
have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your
book.” Psalm 56:8. Knowing that God is the only one capable of counting my tears worthy
enough to count, I mostly just cry to Him. Whatever God tells us in His word is
not just there just because, it is there to tell us know how much we mean to Him. He,
throughout the entire bible, describes how much we mean to Him and yet how we
continue to rebel against Him just boggles my mind!
Remember how a paragraph ago I said
there was another way out! There is! Instead of downing in sea of alcohol why
not pour out our tears to the one and only God that keeps track of them! I am
not making this up, but the times I have gone down on my knees to pray about my
worries and cried out to my lord, peace that surpasses all understanding takes control
of my heart!. “6 Do not be
anxious about anything, but in
every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. 7 And the
peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
He also says…
“28 come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I
will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for
I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke
is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
Notes:
- Instead of drowning in alcohol, which will later give you a hangover, pour your sorrows out to God!
- He doesn’t let any tear go to waste!
Stay
Blessed<3
