Proverbs 31:6-7
Give strong drink unto
him that is ready to perish,
and wine unto those
that be of heavy hearts.
Let him drink, and
forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Perishing,
Heavy Hearts and Alcohol
This seems to be an exhortation towards medicinal
uses for intoxicating drinks. Someone
who is ready to perish may need something so that they aren’t as aware of the
pain and misery they are facing. Alcohol
was used as anesthesia in certain war times.
There can be a time for a narcotic or mind altering drug in a state of
pain or death. Recreational drugs are
not for anyone who is trying to have good judgment and make decisions that are
safe and of the Lord. Our children need
to know the difference and understand how important it is to have a sober mind.
