Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, <\/span><\/span>when<\/em> <\/span>it moveth itself aright.<\/span> – Proverbs 23:31<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are 2 ways to look at a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

The first way, is to be taken in by the first impression: the colour, the bouquet, the sparkle, the curvature of the wine glass and the warm buzz of tipsiness on that first sip.<\/p>\n

The second way, is to completely disregard all of the above, because you see the addiction, alcoholism, liver cirrhosis, loss of control, drunk driving deaths, broken families and gradual erosion of your potential.<\/p>\n

Between your nature as a Spirit, and the physical address of your Body…is your Soul: mind, will and emotions.<\/p>\n

Your Soul gets to choose between 2 operating systems: the Flesh and the Spirit.<\/p>\n

The Flesh is a sense-based Operating System, driven by what you can hear, see, smell, taste and feel.<\/p>\n

The Spirit is a Word-based Operating System, driven by what the Word of God says.<\/p>\n

And you have the ability to “look not”. To completely disregard everything that your Body is observing and paying attention to…and make decisions in line with the Word of God.<\/p>\n
