Joel 1:5
When I was drinking, I put the drink first above all else. I didn't deserve the Word of God when I was drunk. I wouldn't have appreciated it anyway.
When we drink (people like me), we open ourselves up. The secret doors to our souls swing wide open to let anything in. That's dangerous, because I need to be selective of what I allow into my heart.
In my case, God didn't like that and he let me know in so many ways. For me, it was a sin.
But keep in mind, too...Jesus came for and died for the sinners of the world. I asked Him to forgive me, and He did. Without hesitation. If you believe and call on Him, He helps. Forgives. Saves.
