Drinking
Posted on February 1st, 2009 No commentsLast night, I chose to have a beer (we bought a 6-pack for super bowl party). I was feeling guilty about it, and in prayer I said:
Lord I hope that I haven’t disappointed youI forget exactly what the response was, but I remember thinking, "wow that was harsh". Then I said:
Wow, that’s how it is?The response was:
Michael, I love youThen I got the impression that because of that love, there are going to be times when I don’t like the answers to my questions, but those answers are in my own best interest. I may not be sinning by drinking a beer, but God "will not protect me from the consequences of my decisions" and that I am "playing a dangerous game if I continue."
I also said:
Lord, please help me to keep [drinking] under control.The response was:
I will not help you drink [alcohol].His rules / commands are for my own good. I must trust Him.
I trust you Lord. Thank you for loving me and for guiding my life.Leave a reply
