Title: Self Control
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. – Prov 3:5
Whatever makes us happy right? Not so fast… Tempting situations hit us everyday it seems and the world thinks its about giving into the flesh and making sure we are keeping ourselves happy. Self control is a tough thing but it honors God. The bible as many examples of people denying flesh and a great example is Daniel.
Daniel 1:5-17 – Shows that Daniel denied self and kept his body clean by sticking to vegetables and water even though he had access to all of the meat and other foods that he wanted. By not defiling his body he was honoring God and he received some incredible blessings like wisdom and understanding to name just a few. So denying self is possible.
Exercising self control is not easy but honoring God sure is worth the effort.
Real Men Trust God all the time
