Use Self-Control

[Rev. Sidnei]

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to know knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perserverance, godliness; and to godliness; brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ 2 Peter 1:5-8 NIV


The Word says that a person will die for lack of discipline and instruction, and in his folly he will go astray and be lost (see Prov. 5:23). You can't buy discipline, but you have an inner ability to develop self-control.

By spending time with God, you can be filled with His Spirit and controlled by His power to live a calm life with a well-balanced mind of discipline and self-control (see 2 Timothy 1:7). Consciously add self-control to your behavior today.
