My Question

Word of Life

Beloved soul, In moments of doubt, let us turn to the sacred scriptures for wisdom and guidance. Proverbs 20:1 gently reminds us, "Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise." Our Creator, in His infinite love, wishes for us to be filled with His Spirit, rather than the fleeting pleasures of this world. Ephesians 5:18 encourages us thus: "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." When we seek solace or joy through earthly means, we often end up further from the peace we desire. Yet, being filled with the Holy Spirit grants us serenity, clarity, and a profound connection to our Divine Creator. Consider, dear friend, the path of righteousness and the joy that comes from a heart aligned with God’s will. May you find strength in His love and wisdom in His word. Let today be a testament to your faith and His unwavering grace. With heartfelt blessings and prayers for your journey, [Signature Hidden]

Bible Commentary

Ephesians 5:18 states, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." This verse contrasts the destructive influence of drunkenness with the edifying influence of the Holy Spirit. Paul urges believers to seek spiritual fulfillment and guidance rather than temporary, harmful pleasures. Being filled with the Spirit leads to a life of righteousness and wisdom.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your guidance and wisdom. Your Word in Ephesians 5:18 teaches us not to get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery, but to be filled with the Spirit. Help me to make choices that honor You and fill me with Your Spirit today. Guide my actions and thoughts so that they reflect Your love and righteousness. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
