Proverbs 31:4–7 (ESV)
“It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted. Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.”
In this episode, Pastor Nazario Sinon reflects on the sobering warning of Lemuel’s mother — that alcohol dulls discernment, corrupts justice, and destroys integrity. This timeless truth calls us to remain alert, wise, and spiritually sober, especially when entrusted with influence or responsibility.
Just as kings are warned not to drink lest they forget righteousness, believers are called to live with clear minds and guarded hearts. Jesus Himself refused the numbing drink before His crucifixion — choosing instead to bear the pain for our salvation.
