Proverbs 20 KJV

Wine is a mocker, and can lead a man to poverty and strife (Prov. 1:1). It, along with any other vice we face in this life, is a ploy by the devil to kill you. We must pray for the strength to overcome such faults. Remember that all these difficulties we have are not special to ourselves and our circumstances as much as we may like to think (1 Cor. 10:13). So, don't take it out on yourself to much when you fall short, and don't judge others to harshly.
We must have sympathy for each other and ourselves. Work with what you have and grow from it. War is waged by the understanding of a council, so don't fight against your suffering alone. Develop a team of brothers and sisters to help you win this war (Prov. 20:18). For God is bigger than our sins, and has given us wisdom on how to accomplish his mission in our lives. Move forward and take hold of victory. Amen
