"Half the day I wonder if it's too late for coffee. The other half, if it's too early for alcohol." (From a FB picture.) Even many Christians use alcohol as an escape from their worries. That escape accomplishes nothing, though, and Luke 21 explains,
“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life...But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (34;36)
Instead of going to a drug for escape, let's go to our Father in prayer!
"For the entire Law is fulfilled in in this one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."—Gal 5:14
