I C0Ll)EN TEJ^T?"Strong drink shall be Utter to them that drink It."?Isaiah 24:9 I Sowing and reaping is one of those Universal laws which applies in all |ealms of life. What ,we sow we leap, whether in the farmer's field, In our national life, or in the life of |he individual. It is true physically, [entally, morally and spiritually. How surprising then that intelligent Americans think we <?an go on Krith the use of intoxicants .which lave destroyed other nations and exIcct to escape the same sad consequences. Professional men have [recked their careers, business men |st their hard earned positions, and [ch men dissipated their inherit[ces; and at the same time each [ them has fallen into moral decay [all through their inability to con[ol their desire for drink. Yet we [ntinue to license its sale, and so [other generation of young men [list meet the same temptation. Our lesson presents three results [ drunkenness. 11. Military Defeat (I Sam. 30:16, [a crisis in the life of King David [ related in this chapter. The [malekites had taken Ziklag. The Kng and his family were prisoners, [id by a host of barbarous men [r too strong for them to oppose. Be inquired of God and was told to [tack. With his Utile army of 400 ' [en he defeated them. Why? Be[use in a drunken debauch U^ey ere celebrating their victory of the [y before. This was not the first, nor the [st, time that military defeat folBwed indulgence in alcoholic bevBages. It has happened even in the [esent war. Have we learned the [son1 Will we avoid that danger? In this country our armed forces [d defense workers are constantly [posed to temptation?and how any of them fall, anyone may [ow who has eyes to see. From distant battlefronts come [quieting reports that intoxicants [e among the "supplies" which find [ck transportation to the very [nt, where they are soon put to [ir destructive use. # HI National Decay (Isa. 28:1-4, 7). Isaiah was a mighty voice against oral corruption, and for the right[usncss of God. With true prophetic [ight he saw beneath the outward Bosperity and apparent glory of his [pie, and exposed the sins which [uld soon destroy them as a na[n. Outstanding among these deBuetive forces was drunkenness. Turning first to the northern king: Bm of Israel (for the nation had [v Hem divided), he tells them [t though their valleys may be [tile and their cities resplendent, [ collapse of all their boasted Beatncss will surely come if they Be in revelry and drunkenness, [e speaks of the coming of "the [ghty and the strong one" (v. 2) [o will be like a destroying storm. B refers to Assyria?itself an unBdJy people, but used of God tQ [urge His own people who had Bcome indulgent and sinful. [here is a truth here which we [d to learn. When nations forget aI and fail in their responsibilities B Him and to their fellow men; Ben they become vain and self fn[gent, God will bring judgment [n them. He may use as His in ument nations who are themBves pagan, to accomplish His piir[he people should be led in re- I [tance and righteousness by their I [gious leaders. How sad that some [an example in the other direc[ Others who live personal lives [ve reproach are silent on these Portant questions lest they give [nse to someone who may make difficult for them. How sadf [i- Eternal Destrnejien (Gal. j B9-21). [ihtary loss and national declen[ should be enough'to.ktfgn every [t thinking person against intoxi- , [ far worse is the fact [. they bring many, many men [ women into eternal separation m God. [ this passage "drunkenniess and [, find their proper place B; k f other works of the flesh ch close the door to the kingdom ?d. There is no use trying to miss or cover it up as the un[unate weakness of an otherwise [p person, or the natural result a bit of social fellowship. [merica has too long regarded a [ ' n person as a joke?or at most [ 1 of a nuisance to be indulged tolerated.
