“It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.”
This verse gives a strong warning against the consumption of alcohol by royalty. As believers in Jesus Christ, we are royalty in God’s family and should heed this warning. Consuming alcohol lowers a person’s perception of right and wrong and immediately begins to pull the Christian from the paths of righteousness. While it may seem pleasurable for the moment, the compromising of character makes alcohol an evil no Christian should gamble with.
