When Christ is our vice for the vice, we are free

Monday’s Message

A glass of wine
From time to time
Feeling fine
Whatever seems to ease the mind
Right?
But one glass turns into four
and the bottle hits the floor
As your hand reaches for just one more
and I implore
I beseech
Can you dig down a little deep
and ask yourself
Why you really need that drink?
Or vice
Whatever it may be
Gripping you into a new reality
An escape
A retreat
A sliver of mindless peace
But the fourth drink instinct
"…it bites like a serpent and stings”
Like an adder
Your eyes will behold strange things
and your mind will utter things turned the wrong way." (Proverbs 23:32-33)
But seek Him first
and your heart will be gladder
Turn towards Him
Climbing the ladder
As He begets peace
A place in time to sovereignly meet
But be discreet
Not like a beggar who falls upon His feet
Not hungry or thirsty
For the things only the human eye can see
But with your sword
Stand up and defeat
Your mortal desires
Of lifelong happiness
Gluttony
Cutting of the hand that reaches
Seeking pleasure as only the world teaches
Dig deep
Deeper into His word
A child falling to His feet
And as that vice speaks
Remember who you were called to be
A servant of life
A bringer of peace
Be more than an earthly being
Be a child once more
A child of the one true King
 
-Abigail Rice
