TCN's Biblical Journey July 2

Today's reading is Proverbs 23-27

In moderation?


In verses 20-21 of Proverbs 23, there is a warning not to be a drunkard or a glutton. Though these two things lead to the same end they may seem to have little in common on the surface. However, they both are based in the desire for excess. It is the desire for more than what is proper, then what is good and prudent. Food is a good thing, alochol has it's proper place but the excess leads to destruction. It isn't wrong to have them in their proper place, but like sex outside of those bounds, it is wrong.
