Proverbs 23: 29 - 35
Thirty Sayings of the Wise!
Saying 19
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?. Who has strife? Who has complaints?. Who has needless bruises?. Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”
"Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you'll find is that you can overcome anything. Overcoming exhilarates an individual. What is something that you tell yourself you cannot do . . .run a mile, lose weight, draw or paint, dance gracefully, or speak to an audience? Stretch yourself by trying something new that is outside your comfort zone. New interests can be sparked, interesting acquaintances can be made, unique sites visited. Or who knows what discovery awaits you around the corner! The embracing of a new, yet worthy experience may trigger a desire to explore. Be fascinated with life; grow in strength of character and enjoy the newness of life everyday. New Challenges creates new and limitless opportunities.
