Rewards for Obedience

I have recently been convinced (through Amazing Facts as well as other timely reading) that drinking alcohol is a hindrance to my relationship with Christ.  Just as I have come to understand the blessing given for sexual purity (thoughts and deeds), I have a hunch that there may be a blessing awaiting me to claim for obedience to rejecting this temporal pleasure (of the flesh) as well.  Just as I have learned to call upon the Lord to shelter me from impure thoughts, I also can call upon Him to shelter me from other temptation (alcohol).  I need to:

1. Recognize the threat (either in advance or real-time)
2. Ask for shelter
3. Trust that shelter will be provided
