”Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 NIV
As I ready this scripture for today, I could not stop reading. I studied 1 Peter 3:13- 5:11. I needed this encouragement and reminder today that even if we suffer for doing right, God will reward us. I needed the reminder to stay alert, attentive, focused in this journey and grounded in the word of God because the enemy is lurking and seeking to prey on our weaknesses. It is not just alcohol but that is the example for today. I pray it will change someone’s life.
If you feel like you need a drink, whether you want to admit it, it has become a vice for you. Set it aside during this fast and see your body and mind heal. Life can be painful but eventually we must deal with realities.
In this process you may encounter withdrawal symptoms but be encouraged to keep pressing. Feel free to share your experience here to possibly encourage someone else.
