1.  Kings Heart in in God’s Hand

 
Pro 21:1  The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. 
Pro 21:2  Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. 
 
Verse 1 verse speaks of the providential working of God in the affairs of men.

The truth is, alcohol is a great deceiver. In place of its short ‘high’ comes nothing but trouble and destruction.
 
Many churches today teach that there is nothing wrong with a few social drinks taken in moderation.  The only thing wrong with that is that it is a lie from Satan.
Truly, alcoholic beverages are demons in a bottle. Few things in the history of humanity have been more destructive to life, happiness, and family than alcohol.
