The Lord will strengthen someone who wishes to be sober and free from any addiction - Daily Bible Reflections January 14,2014


ALCOHOLISM AND
OTHER ADDICTIONS
 
“How long will you make a drunken show of yourself? Sober up from your wine!” – 1 Samuel 1:14
 
How many lives have been lost due to drunken driving? How many families have been destroyed as a result of spouses or parents who have been unable to keep away from the bottle or from other drug-related props in their lives?
       Have you ever felt terror grip you when somebody you love loses it in a “ blackout “ moment? He’d say, “I don’t remember hurting you. You’re just making up a story.” Or if that person owns up to the violent act, he will offer profuse apologies only to do it over and over again.
       Life and death sometimes hang in a balance when a drunk parent, in a show of braggadocio, insists on driving on an interstate highway, crisscrossing the lane in the middle of the night.
       What’s worse is when he points a gun or a knife at you and all you can do is pray that he doesn’t pull the trigger or touch your flesh with the sharp blade.
       Friend, if you know that a person is an alcoholic or a drug addict, seek help immediately. Treatment is of utmost urgency — so act now before lives are lost or families broken. Grace Relucio Princesa ( grprincesa@yahoo.com)
 
Reflection: The Lord will strengthen someone who wishes to be sober and free from any addiction.
 
Lord, may I never make a show of myself, drunken or sober.
 
Servant of God John the Gardener, pray for us.
