" SELF-CONTROL SHOWS WISDOM "

Top of the morning to you, today I would like to share with you on the subject of self-control. This will only take a moment of your time. First I want you to know that I walk by faith, you see by living in this manner there's no stress. By doing this it's easier for me to be under self-control in all situations. Now with that being said, I know that Satan is real, he is called "the god of this world" and "the prince of the power of the air". We must be vigilant and ask God to examine us, believing that He will forgive our sins and clear our record according to his mercy. Each morning my wife and I approach the throne of Grace, we ask for forgiveness and we give the day to the Lord. Now that's being in self-control to me. God wants to produce his character in us. But to do this, he demands our discipline and effort. As we obey Christ who guides us by his spirit, we will develop self-control. If you want to be self-controlled begin with your tongue. You have not mastered self-control if you do not control what you say. Words can cut and destroy. If you wish to be self-control led, begin with your tongue. Stop and think before you react or speak. " A FOOL GIVES FULL VENT TO HIS ANGER,BUT A WISE MAN KEEPS HIMSELF UNDER CONTROL " (Prov.29:11). When someone irritates or aggravates you, it is natural to retaliate. But this solves nothing and only encourages trouble. Instead, answer slowly and quietly. Your positive response will achieve positive results. Remember that a kind word turns away another's fury. Self-Control Shows Wisdom. Until Next Time... Jim,
