Good Morning! Proverbs Day 23: Prov 23:17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. Today I want to be honest about something that even if you never had a Drinking or Drug problem, you could have felt this way about becoming a Christian. One of my biggest fears about quitting Drinking and Drugging was my life was going to become boring and there was just going to be No More Fun! But now that I look back I wasn't really having fun. Sure there were those times I had a WHOLE LOT OF FUN! But either felt like crap in the morning or here's the good one, could not remember the fun that I had the night before lol! And here's the other aspect to my fun. Prov 23: 20-21 Do not join those who drink to much wine or gorge themselves on meat. For drunkards and gluttons become poor and drowsiness clothes them in rags. That was another thing about my fun, it not only took up all the money in my wallet to have this fun, but it also occupied all my thoughts and motives. Like when am I going to get off work so I can drink! Or just always thinking of ways to just drink and drug. I was being robbed by you know who, all the fun that could be had in living a sober life. In the King James V. It talks about having a sober mind. Which just means having sound judgement and putting your faith in God. Prov 23:12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. And it wasn't until I got Sober and got into the Word that I learned this instruction and knowledge. And saw the damage that having all that fun was doing in my life. I'm not going to write it all so as your reading your Prov today pay close attention to Vs 29-35. These Vs tell you exactly what life is like when you are drinking and drugging, or womanizing or over eating or into porn or any of those little Hurts, Habits or Hangups we might have in our life that we think are fun and intriguing. But in the end they reach out and bite us like a snake and poison our minds like a viper Vs 32. So today I tell you Do not envy people who are sinners, or people you think are having all the fun. Be Sober in mind. Learn to live a life free of all Satan's so called FUN STUFF! For God tells us in Vs 15-16 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad; my innermost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right. So today that's what I'm telling you! Seek the Lord and His Truth, His Wisdom and His Grace. You will find more Joy, more Contentment in Life and more Fun than you ever thought possible! And the thing about this fun is it doesn't get me in trouble, it doesn't cost me anything and it can be ours to have for eternity. So today lets go have some Fun with Jesus Christ and share that Fun with others, it is Pure, True Fun! HABD!
