Addicted to the Word

The sword of God

“Addicted” or “addiction” means:  “to be physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance.”

Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,

Ephesians 5:18 NLT

In this verse, wine can be referred to as a metaphor for worldly things. You can get addicted to wine (worldly pleasures).

Force yourself to spend time in God’s Word in order to get addicted to it, in such a way that you are physically and mentally dependent on this substance – God’s Word.

Instead of filling yourself with worldly pleasures, which will ruin your life, fill yourself with the Holy Spirit.

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
