Self-Control

Word for October 1st, 2022

You often think of self-control only in times of controlling your anger and silencing your tongue. Self-control is much more than that, although that is important. Self-control is recognizing what is happening in all of your life, all of your ways of being - your desires, passions, your excitement about things. The flesh can take things that are Holy and pull them off into the flesh and being uncontrolled. That takes a great amount of paying attention to your Spirit to know when are you operating in self-control, following the Spirit with self-control? Ponder that!
