Self Control Week 1

Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control. Proverbs 25:28

The above proverb describes a person with no self control. When areas of your life are totally out of control your protective walls are broken down. When this happens you open yourself up to attacks on all sides. If you can’t control your words or actions at work, your job security will be attacked. This will of course lead to a cascade of financial issues. If you can’t control your reaction with family members, your family relationships will be under attack leading to broken relationships. Every area of your life will be open to an attack. The Book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom. So when you realize you are feeling out of control and see attacks from all sides, be wise and turn to Jesus. Ask for help from the Holy Spirit and let Him take the control. Our prayer is that when you realize you are lacking self-control in an area and are under attack, release your control to the Lord.
