Proverbs 20…are you “astray?”

Proverbs 20:1, “Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls.  Those led astray by drink cannot be wise.”

This Proverb was written almost 3000 years ago.  I have a feeling if Solomon were still alive today he would tell us to replace the words wine and alcohol with whatever our addiction is, or whatever leads us “astray.”  It could be drugs, pornography, sex, food, gambling, video games, facebook, chat rooms, shopping, weight loss, reading, people, places, things, gossip, envy, criticism of others etc… 

Being led “astray” by anything is not good. 

Is there something leading you astray today?  Is there something you are fixated on and cannot stop doing or thinking about?  Is there something standing between you and God and therefore prohibiting you from being all you can for Him?

The “astray” world is the devil’s world…not a good place to be.

P.E.A.C.E.
