「It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;」 Amen.
These are the words of my mother to King Lemuel. A person at the head of a nation should not be addicted to alcohol, nor to lust, nor to money. But these temptations are more common than for the average person. If someone does not admonish them, they will be swept away. A mother's admonition may be the best. Jesus endured pain on the cross, denied wine, and died as our substitute. Here was the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, and Savior of the world.
May we keep the cross of the Lord in our hearts today....
God bless you. See you tomorrow.
