Have you heard the story of Waylon Prendergast? The man from Tampa, Florida, had been out drinking when he decided to rob a house on his way home.
The drunken man forced his way into a house, filled a
suitcase he found there with the valuables he discovered & made his way to
the living room.
In his stupor he decided it would be a good idea to set a
fire to cover his tracks, so he ignited a blaze before making his way out the
back door.
Thinking he was home free, he continued on to his house -
only to find 3 fire trucks parked outside fighting the blaze he had set to
cover his theft from his own home.
The Bible describes alcoholic drinks as being deceitful for
a reason.
None of those people who now realize they have a problem
with it intended to become alcoholics or dependent on their next drink to make
it through the day. But that is where the end of the path they set out on
leads.
- Herald Sun (ministry127.com)
“The ravages of drink
are greater than those of war, pestilence, and famine combined.” - William
Gladstone.
Ps 3:8 (NIV): “From the Lord comes deliverance. May your
blessing be on your people.”
